AVICULTURE AND EDUCATION:


Exhibition Methods at the Amsterdam Zoological Gardens.


The bird shown is a Temminek Pied Hornbill ( Anthracocero* coneexits). Conspicuous with its

large white pick-axe beak, it is seen perched on the flat top of the picture pillar. On this

pillar are seen figures of the various birds in the Aviary. Printed paper labels are used, in

well-glazed frames, protected from the weather by a projecting roof. The figures of the birds

are coloured to assist the public in identifying them. An account of the Temminek Pied

Hornbill appeared in the Avic. Mag.’ for March, 1903, p. 177.
