I’m going to guess hornbills, of which I know at least one species (the grey hornbill) exists, but not the others.

I’m guessing hornbills – I’m sure there are grey hornbills at least, haven’t heard of the others.

the “long drop” is a term of art in the trade of hanging (those executed don’t slowly strangle but have their necks swiftly broken): i don’t know who developed it tho (i.e. haven’t googled yet)
