THESE ORIENTAL PIED Hornbills live at the Juron Bird Park’s Breeding and Research Centre in Singapore.

Before they were born, the birds’ eggs were rescued on an off-shore island. They were then hatched after successful artificial incubation.

This is all part of the park’s efforts in preserving and educating the public about its wildlife and wildlife reserves.

Look at his little face.

Is it just us, or do they look like they’re going to start talking at any second?

Buddies.
