ok ok every bird has eyes but did you ever see a bird's eyelash?

this is a malabar grey hornbill Ocyceros griseus. now you may not consider it the most beautiful bird you have ever seen but if eyelashes are a sign of beauty you might want to rethink that.

well maybe you have to be a malabar grey hornbill to appreciate their beauty. unlike many other hornbills these birds don't have any casque but that doensn't seem to bother them at all. it doesn't bother us either when the happen to appear in our garden to check out the chickoos

Honestly I did not pay much attention on bird's eyelashes, but this one got amazing.😀

i never saw any other bird had eyelashes. i wonder why this one has

Wow great detail on the eyelashes. Adds to the hornbills personality haha
