The hornbill couple is my favorite thing to see at the Bronx Zoo; I've seen them every year since 1988, when I took [info]dj_rose_red to the zoo for her 4th birthday. One of the pair was near enough to give me a good picture.

Nice! The king vultures are a favorite of mine.

Are they the same hornbills from 20 years ago (I mean the same individuals)? I took care of one of those this summer; I liked him until he whonked me on the side of the head in a sneak attack. Aw, I still like him, but I don't trust him. ;)

I think they are the same ones. Do they not live that long?

When we first went, they used to be right next to each other all the time. Like humans, I guess, after so many years, they don't need to be one on top of the other constantly anymore.

20 years seems a little long. The chances are good that one or the other would have developed health problems in that time. But it's certainly possible that they're the same ones, I was just curious.

I am really enjoying your LJ.

You can tell this is a NYC zoo because the toucan is not married to the other toucan. Very low moral standards in NYC.
