Von der Decken's Hornbill - a photo on Flickriver

I think this little lady must have been just a tad bit confused. I would swear that this is a female Von der Decken's Hornbill (Tockus deckeni) but it was in one of the glass enclosures inside the Tropical America exhibit at Roger Williams Zoo. Von Der Deckens Hornbills are found in Eastern Africa in the wild. Generally East of the Great Rift Vally from Ethiopia in the North to Tanzania in the South. I recall seeing some in Mombassa when I was there, though that tropical coast was not it's native habitat, they would have most likely been captive birds brought from inland.
