Yes...most Americans do confuse Australia and Austria.

No....there are no hornbills in Australia and there possible never will be.

Excuse me!! Some Americans paid attention during Geography class! I fuss at my grandchildren all the time to look at globes and maps. I volunteer at a kindergarten and bought them a huge book of maps that we look at nearly every week. I also found soft stuffed globes that I gave to the school and one sits on the back of my couch for the kids to explore. They love finding where their cousins in Texas live and where Grandma is traveling next! Make it fun and they will learn!!

Today, we visited the Alpen zoo. It was small, but I saw the wallcreeper. Only one in captivity I think.

I have also seen wild marmots and alpine choughs.

I'll write more when I get back, I'm on the hotel's computer so I have to pay.

as i know you are a huge fan of hornbills, as am i. therefore i am sure you know of the "raritaten zoo" in i believe a place called ebbs in austria which has a collection of around 9 species of hornbill including i think 2 pairs of the sulawesi red knobbed hornbill (my favourite) which have bred.
