Oriental Pied Hornbill at Telecommunication Tower

Spotted this noisy pair of Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris) at a Telecommunication Tower 500 meters from my house. Probably in mating ritual - male above. The breeding season for hornbills in Malaysia generally starts from January until July.

"Do they not look at the birds, held poised in the midst of (the air and) the sky? Nothing holds them up but (the power of) Allah. Verily in this are signs for those who believe". Surah An-Nahl (The Bee) 16:79

Surah Al-Israq, verse 4 (17:4 Al-Quran).

َقَضَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّۭا كَبِيرًۭا

And We warned the Children of ISRAIL in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant!.

Surah Al-Israq, verse 5 (17:5 Al-Quran).

فَاِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ اُوۡلٰٮهُمَا بَعَثۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ عِبَادًا لَّنَاۤ اُولِىۡ بَاۡسٍ شَدِيۡدٍ فَجَاسُوۡا خِلٰلَ الدِّيَارِ ؕ وَكَانَ وَعۡدًا مَّفۡعُوۡلًا‏

So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent against you servants of Ours – those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a promise fulfilled.

Ya Allah, kami letakkan Kamu di batang leher musuh-musuh kami, dan kami berlindung denganmu dari kejahatan mereka. Ya Allah hancurkan kumpulan mereka. Ya Allah pecahkan pakatan mereka. Ya Allah leburkan dan lumpuhkan pendirian mereka. Ya Allah goncangkanlah kaki-kaki mereka. Cengkamkan anjing-anjingmu kepada mereka. Ya Allah yang Maha Memaksa. Ya Allah yang Maha Perkasa. Ya Allah yang Maha Membalas, Ya Allah, yang menurunkan kitab (al-Quran), yang menggerakkan awan, yang menewaskan tentera Ahzab. Kalahkan musuh umat Islam, kalahkan mereka, kalahkan mereka. Dan berilah pertolongan dan kemenangan untuk umat Islam terhadap mereka.”
