 Cooperative Breeding by Rufous Hornbills on Mindanao Island, Philippines
Mindanao Rufous Hornbills develop from a black bill with a low, humped casque in juvenals to an ivory bill with a prominent, red, anvil-shaped casque in mature adults (see Hachisuka 1934).
min- danensis, Mindanao and Basilan [McGregor 1909]) has a distinct casque morphology and bill coloration (il- lustrated in Hachisuka 1934).

 Re: Oviraptor Beaks and Hornbill Crests
This is true for some hornbills (though the proper term is not "crest", which in birds refers to a crest of feathers on the top of the head, but "casque"), but not others.
The Helmeted Hornbill Buceros (or Rhinoplax) vigil have a nearly solid, heavy casque that has been traditionally carved as hornbill "ivory", which it apparently uses for hammering and head-butting.

 DCL A2000 Good
Casque & Gauntlet, a society for senior undergraduates founded at Dartmouth College in 1887, combined two popular late-nineteenth-century American phenomena: The vogue for fraternal societies and for King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table.
The founders of Casque & Gauntlet were inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and dedicated themselves to the pursuit of what they saw as Arthurian chivalric ideals, including the metaphorical quest for the Holy Grail, the cup used by Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper.
[12] Senior societies did not found chapters at other colleges, nor did they always achieve the social prominence they set out to gain, but their existence, complete with pins, secret grips, mottoes, rituals, and songs, was certainly in keeping with the times.

 Cooperative Breeding by Rufous Hornbills on Mindanao Island, Philippines
This hornbill group was in the initial phases of breeding activity and included four adults and one immature (black bill and casque; the undeveloped casque of this hornbill suggests that it was an immediate postjuvenal bird).
Thus, I observed these hornbills during the final 45 days (nest discov- ery to fledging) of a presumed four-month nesting cycle (see Kemp 1979), during which time the female was out of the cavity and feeding the nestling.
Thus far, four species of hornbills have been found to have cooperative breeding systems with helpers at the nest; nonbreeding birds assist the male in feeding the nest mates (Stacey and Koenig 1990).
