The Great was an unwanted pet from a local village and is not as tame as the Wreathed which was confiscated from poachers as a chick. The wreathed Hornbill also has a similar fascination with shoelaces. They associate with each other but not other Hornbills in the area.

Both nice to have around, but can be nuisance if your busy trying to do something.
