Hear hear, the bird has spoken.
Our metal bird in BDC looks more like a transformer. As I scrolled down I was expecting another autobot fabrication by KennySia. You may call it Big BDC, short for Big Birds Don't Cry. Neither do they fly.

the bird is damn ugly ....
Posted by: CJ at 13 August 2007 6:14 PM
OMG! Is that new? I didn't see it last time I was in Kuching. That terminator bird is awful! What kind of a first impression is that?! They should leave it unlit or just lit with spotlights at the bottom or something!

the horn thingie is actually hollow inside.
helps to echo its mating calls apparently.
not working too well eh? it seems to be on the endangered species list.
Posted by: mia at 13 August 2007 6:24 PM
it could have cost the state council rm50 million to erect that Bird-minator, another rm20 million to maintain it over 5 years, with a rm50 option to erect more bird-minators around kuching town.
bird-minator looks nothing less than hideous, scares the shit outta little kids, and pound-for-pound cost more than a ferrari. and most importantly, serves no purpose whatsoever. this is how our council wastes our tax money......

every time if you pass by you bow at the bird it bring you goodluck......try it ok
Posted by: EDS at 13 August 2007 6:28 PM
I probably shouldn't say this coz everyone love that bird so much, but I have eaten that breed of horbill, and to be honest, I actually don't like it's taste, compared to other birds it size, it's not so good, had it in soup but wasn't that great. I like it deep fried with Thai chillie. Kind of reminds me of the times I ate dog, turtle, shark fin, insects and cat, but I don't think I should continue my comment as everyone gona get grossed out one meh.

That's a serious bad lighting. Reminds me of the Proton Ah Beng Gen 3 in TV Smith's blog:

Posted by: 杉 at 13 August 2007 7:37 PM
THAT, is an ugly bird. The last time I was in Sarawak it wasn't there...=.-
Malaysia and their 'art' ain't something I can understand.
Posted by: Cherrie at 13 August 2007 7:44 PM
Wow, they moved back the big bird to the roundabout. Before I left kuching beginning of the year, the bird was at the roadside, somewhere near the RH plaza.
Posted by: ineser at 13 August 2007 7:56 PM
Hey, big bird at ur place? I got 1 & 1/2 big betel nuts back at Penang. Erected at a round-about too. Made from silver metal. Funny how people can be so creative!!
Posted by: Charmaine at 13 August 2007 8:12 PM
Hornbill ? i like it too.
Posted by: freelittlebrain at 13 August 2007 8:21 PM
the wings look so 'out'! those are dragonfly wings! the whole thing is ugly.
Posted by: stargazer at 13 August 2007 8:22 PM
The hornbill sculpture looks a bit like a fly to me coz the wings does not seem right.
Posted by: Ah Dom at 13 August 2007 8:29 PM
well, a terminator bird as an icon is better than a 'mutated lion with a fish tail that just don't seem to stop vomitting'...

minister: we are running low on funding, any ideas guys?
minister's posse: sir, we need to create a gimmick to attract more funds to come in...
minister: i know, hows aboout a terminator bird? it can be made out of metal!
minister's posse: not strong enough to convince the funding... unless we add some lights...
minister: good idea, lets add some colorful changing lights!
minister's posse: walau eh, chun leh... lets get the job going so our new funding will flow in!!
minister: what are you waiting for then?
(and thus terminator bird is born)

Awesome bird.
I can already see people shuffling around the bird.
Screw the Melbourne shuffle, people around the world will come for the Sarawak shuffle.
Do "the bird", do "the bird"!

That is one hilarious bird! Thanks for the laughs on an early Tuesday morning.
Posted by: Entrepreneur at 14 August 2007 8:27 AM
I was at an international conference recently and they had a cultural dance show before the dinner. One of the dances was the Iban Ngajat and the emcee was describing Hornbill to us. She had me in stitches when she said this - "Hornbill hunting is now banned because the birds are extinct." LOL!
Posted by: Polly at 14 August 2007 8:44 AM
I love my bird. Twitty
Posted by: elisezzuk at 14 August 2007 9:28 AM
Ugly or not, like all things, we'll grow to love or hate it. Like this lyrics: " ... You'll have me suicidal, suicidal, suicidal..." (pull the plug!)
Posted by: water5699 at 14 August 2007 9:37 AM
They should make the bird higher.. so its like.. looking down on us.. watching us over the fly over.. its inbuilt infra-red camera with super zoom capabilities and speed trap installed CCTV.
Posted by: iB6uB9 at 14 August 2007 10:03 AM
just another obvious way for pek mou to generate income for himself and his koncos.
how else can he charge more money for useless fugly decos ard town using cement and building materials only he has the license to sell?? costs: 10k, charge govt to pay 10k + $XXX consultation fees mah.
who doesnt know?
Posted by: naeboo at 14 August 2007 10:03 AM
??! The authorities should give the metal bird it's dignity back and remove those neons; it looks like the signboard for some sleazy nightclub now.

Posted by: tajau at 14 August 2007 12:48 PM
Hmmm…. I think our govern is into ultramodern and high-tech kind of things, for them this is creativity, I suppose in order to catch up with the era of technologies, looking towards the ultramodern eras the world is pursuing into, we have to feed people’s mind with everything ultramodern and high-tech so their eyes will be open to see further into futuristic-the futurist arts is one accomplishment. Creative! That bird does not at all looks like God’s given Rhinoceros Hornbills. On the other hand, I wonder how will we tell our children one day, hey look, that’s how rhinoceros hornbill looks like? The child will probably scratches his head, looking at the metal bird and believed. Hehehe!!!

Posted by: Suzanne at 21 August 2007 7:54 PM
Sarawak is known as the Land of the Hornbills not because Sarawakians love the bird very much. But it has got to do with the legends surrounding the bird among the Iban people. Both Kenyalang and Singalang (a Brahmin Kite) Burung are two of sacred birds among the Ibans and there is even festival called Gawai Kenyalang. kenyalang is derived from an iban word and not a Malay words. Sadly, due to deforestation and hunting pressure, oth birds are very rare already and will become just mentioned instories for future generation!!!
