a bird

From: "Agoston Janos" <agoston.janos at citromail.hu> on 2007.02.12 at 02:19:39(15280) Dear All, I found in Deni's book of Aroids in the chapter of Amorphs, that maybe Amorph. titanum seeds are dispersed by hornbills. But what is a hornbill? I cannot find it in any reachable dictionary. Please help me, it is urgent.

Some can get quite large too. Karl +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

This 'horn' used to be carved (like elephant ivory) into tiny figures by the Chinese. These birds and their bills are now 'officially' protected. Wilbert published photos of the heads of these birds which had been killed by the locals in the area where he and Dr. Symon were discovering A. titanum. The male bird seals the female in a tree-hole during incubation, and feeds her through a tiny slit or hole in the sealed entrance during the entire incubation period. +More I hope this helps.
