Hornbill Feeding
Hornbill Feeding Pangkor
Every evening, guesthouses around Nipah Bay feed wild oriental pied hornbills. Flocks of these big birds come in close enough to see clearly.
Pangkor Island is home to many wild oriental pied hornbills. For years, guesthouse owners near Nipah Bay have put out bananas and other fruit in the evenings, drawing dozens of hornbills to perch on rooftops and in trees. It's a distinctive experience on the island. Feeding usually starts around 6 pm. Watching is free, and you can ask your accommodation for the exact location and time. Please don't feed or chase the birds yourself, and keep your distance when taking photos. You can also often see them during the day in the island's woodlands and on village rooftops.
