Several other species such as the great hornbill (Buceros bicornis), Austen's brown hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), wreathed hornbill (Aceros undulatus), and crested argus (Rheinardia ocellata) are indicators of low disturbance levels and relatively intact forests. From Wordnik.com. [Southern Annamites montane rain forests] Reference
Several of the other hornbill species — wreathed hornbill (Aceros undulatus), brown hornbill (Anorrhinus tickelli), and great hornbill (Buceros bicornis) — are indicators of intact and mature habitat; these birds depend on tall, mature trees for nesting, without which the populations will decline.

I had sent my hunters to shoot, and while I was at breakfast they returned, bringing me a fine large male of the Buceros bicornis, which one of them assured me he had shot while feeding the female, which was shut up in a hole in a tree.

The great hornbills of Celebes (Buceros cassidix) would often come with loud-flapping wings, and perch upon a lofty tree just in front of me; and the black baboon-monkeys, Cynopithecus nigrescens, often stared down in astonishment at such an intrusion into their domains while at night herds of wild pigs roamed about the house, devouring refuse, and obliging us to put away everything eatable or breakable from our little cooking-house.
