Amongst the roughly 10,000 species of birds, the hornbills form a unique family of middle-sized to large birds with strong, downcurved beaks on which many species boast an impressive casque on the upper mandible. Quiet a few species are also very colorful. Despite their striking appearance, the number of toy figures is very (and I mean very) limited and most of these are not easy to track down.
