Both the redbilled hornbill (Tockus erythrorhynchus) and the yellowbilled hornbill (Tockus flavirostris) (below) are common in the Kruger National Park and dry bushveld areas of southern Africa. They will often be seen gliding effortlessly from one perch to the next. Local safari guides like to point them out to international guests, describing them as the "flying chilli pepper" and the "flying banana" respectively.
