< I am positive this was not a native species. Today I searched online for sites on Hornbills, and that was exactly like what I saw, unless its a different species of Hornbill. It was on a palm tree in Morningside Park, then flew into a Ficus tree. It had a yellowish, huge bill, and was black and white. Morningside Park is far from the Parrot Jungle site, and is along Biscayne Boulavard.>
This is another species that is imported by the bird dealer in Homestead ... but since it is not native to Cuba or Mexico's Yucutan Peninsula, it will only be considered an escaped species.
