I found this small flock of five Oriental Pied Hornbill foraging at the fan palm tree -Palma Kipas
(Livistona sp.) in front of Lancang Police station.
I took this pictures opposite the main road, from a car using my DIY beanbag as a support.
The bright orange fruits attract the hornbill to this place.

Anthracoceros albirostris)
This are two female species, and it even eat the green fruit here.
This young male bird flew to nearby coconut tree when I came out of the car with camera and tripod.
This male birds look like having lock horn fighting for control of territory or mate. The younger male is the same as above bird on the coconut tree.
