Then, in mid-2017, a pair of rhinoceros hornbills. The XL-sized nest box that weighs about 80kg was installed onto a Resak tree at the height of 40feet. After the 2016 hornbill breeding season, the empty boxes looked like epic failures, Ravinder said.
The tree itself stands at 82feet tall!Īnother successful installation at Kinabatangan Rasig- located adjacent to lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary and about 2km from Pangi Forest Reserve. We had the Wildlife Survey and Protection (WSP) team installed another hornbill box at SRL and we tell you.this job requires well-experienced personnel like Eddie and Ahmad from WSP to put it up at the height of 58feet on a Caralia Brachiatta, locally known as Meransi tree. Built by the skilful chap Helson Hassan, we hope these boxes will encourage the breeding of hornbills as where the destruction of trees has made natural nesting impossible. In 2019 itself, we expanded our initiative by installing another two nesting boxes sponsored by SRL and Borneo Eco Tours respectively. Taking you back to June 2018, we installed a nestbox onto a Mallotus muticus tree at Sukau Rainforest Lodge (SRL) to provide home for hornbills.
