• Hornbills are famous for their unusual nesting habits. When Mr. and Mrs. decide its time for baby hornbills, the mother chooses a natural nesting cavity and then is sealed inside with a mixture mud and water, leaving a small slit for air and food. Dad’s job is to keep mom happy and well fed and his mate and chicks are completely dependent upon him at this time - if he is hunted or dies, the entire family will most likely not survive. This private couple tacked up a “Do not disturb” sign on their tree. In case of pregnancy cravings, bags of crisps and chocolate bars abound. “Cotswold Wildlife Park” inscribed on a branch refers to a park where Great Indian Hornbills live. “Cuckoo 17.4.02” refers to the date that Peter Calvesbert observed a cuckoo, back in England after migrating. The artist’s signature mouse checks out the view from the nesting cavity. The Version One interior shows the gear used by a keeper to retrieve a feather (which now has a place of pride in Peter Calvesbert’s studio). The infinity version interior shows hatching eggs.

• NOTE: Because Harmony Kingdom is handmade, individual box figurines may exhibit slight variations. While the artisans do their best to ensure that Harmony Kingdom boxes look seamless, many pieces do look like two-piece figurines.
  
• Harmony Kingdom’s artists often conceal a small motif on the box figurines they carve as a sort of “signature.” This identifies the piece as being their work and adds to the Secrets of the Kingdom. David Lawrence uses an acorn on most of his box figurines, and Peter Calvesbert uses a mouse. Many collectors enjoy searching for these small, hidden symbols of the artists.
