摘要:The first Yellow-billed hornbill was caught
in 1949. Since then, 470 individuals have
been caught, ringed and released. The current
SAFRING database includes 375 computerised
records. From Figure 1 it can be
assumed that from 1949 until 1986, the trapping
of Southern Yellow-billed Hornbills
might have been accidental in nature.
However, it would appear as if these
hornbills have been the topic of speciesspecific
projects since ever-increasing
numbers have been caught since 1986, including
the spike of nearly 70 individuals
caught and ringed in 1969. In total, 57
ringers have contributed towards this database.
