Ugliest Bird Ever??

Ugliest Bird Ever?? · 08:50 AM

These were taken at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs - no PP, only resized for posting.

I have no idea what species it is - maybe one of our birds experts can identify it.

Thanks - C&C always welcome.

I agree #2 and #3 are very 3D'ish and yep that is one mug only a mother could love. Nice shots.

It's the... Helmeted Hornbill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and the Abyssinian Ground-hornbill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edit: I see Mile High posted first. Mile High, was that your input or do you have smarty-pants kids too?

Dan, looks like the "Hornbill" in general is UGLY!!
