Would love this, as my daughter is moving to "Hornbill" Rd and I would like to make her something with this design.

It is a bird with a big orange beak. Kinda fat beak, if you know what I'm meaning. It is widely used as ornaments here in South Africa.

Also known as "Flying Banana". Beak looks like a banana and can be yellow or orange

I don't know if there's a hornbill at Ann the Gran, but wow has that site changed!!! I see Ann the Gran is now Trademarked, and the site is way bigger and more complicated! Anyway, here's the link to the homepage, below. Moyed, when you put the link in, it was to the free designs, and now you have to be registered to go there, so it gives you a 403 'forbidden' message. You'll have to start at the home page, girls. Hugs, Marji

Thanks Gerry, You are right, "neushoringvoel". Ours in Africa do look a little different though.

I will look for you and see if I can find one - I do know that I have seen a site that has a whole lot of tropical bird designs. My search abilities far exceed my memory recall. I'll be back. . .

Check these out - believe they are all toucans though - except for one possible hornbill. Please let me know, I'll add bird watching to my hobbies . . .

This is, I believe, a toucan though.

I think these are all Toucans, a hornbill (as we know them in Africa) have a beak that curves down more, and not quite so wide as a toucan. (I think).
The last bird in the designsbysick, look a little bit more like a hornbill.
I think the hornbill was named after the shape of its beak, just like the shape of a cow horn. The hornbills I know, also has some feathers that stand up (fringe ?), almost like a feather comb on its head.
Hope I did not confuse you more !!!!

Thanks Sandy and Marietta for your time and effort. As Liandi (my daughter) has never seen a hornbill, I would like to get 1 that looks very realistic. Must admit there are very pretty ones on the above sites!

i found one but he is not free. Maybe they have sales because he is 10 dollars. Just type in hornbill bird in design search if you would like to look.
