Beak Beaks Hornbill Hornbills Scratching Southern Central Africa Yellow Billed
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by Jim Bruton, we witness the comical antics of JUB-364, the Yellow-billed Hornbill from Namibia's national parks. This feathered jester seems to have discovered an unconventional way to clean its beak – by giving it a good scratch on a nearby branch! With its vibrant plumage and unmistakable yellow bill, JUB-364 stands out as the ultimate showman of the avian world. Known for their playful behavior, hornbills never fail to entertain us with their quirky habits. And here we have one engaging in some serious self-grooming acrobatics! As JUB-364 expertly maneuvers its beak against the rough surface of the branch, one can't help but wonder if it's found nature's very own spa treatment for birds. Perhaps this is how they keep those magnificent bills so impeccably shiny? Or maybe our little friend just enjoys indulging in some itch relief after devouring a delicious insect feast. Whatever the reason behind this peculiar behavior may be, there's no denying that JUB-364 has mastered both style and practicality in one fell swoop (or should we say "scratch"?). So next time you find yourself needing a laugh or an impromptu grooming session, take inspiration from our delightful Yellow-billed Hornbill friend – sometimes all you need is Mother Nature and her trusty branches!
