Land of Hornbills..

Land of Hornbills a.k.a bumi kenyalang Sarawak, typically roamed by these hornbill birds, Buceros bicornis or the Great Indian Hornbills. The heavy whoosh of its wings as it approaches or leaves in the thick jungle recalls a close encounter with a jet airplane. And then there is the huge bill, the horny casque, the striking plumage patterns, the long tail .... these are birds to be remembered long after they have moved on. And some have incredible calls: those of the Helmeted Hornbill may be the most impressive bird vocalizations in the world! Was an invigorating experience to able to visit tat enigmatic land where rumours boasting tat hornbills are jus like the crows flying around at the 'Under the Tree Economy Rice' in Sri Petaling every evening; rivers, lake, sea, longkang wit full of man-eating reptiles giant cicak -crocodiles; the ferocious head hunting jungle tarzan who loves nothing but head; and those Paleolitic Caves. Apart from these, i was very relished to see their tree houses and the barter system tat they are stil practising. All these were told none other by Monkey Glen Tan which triggered my attempt to explore this ulu land.
