Katakana spelling is standard for this bird name; usually written in kana.
Hiragana spelling is also used, but katakana is more common for animal names.
Kanji form is rare and may not be recognized by many readers; the second character 嘴 is not a jōyō kanji.
Uncommon kanji spelling; 巨嘴鳥 literally means 'giant-beak bird'.
The Japanese name オオハシ is a compound of 大 (おお, 'big') and 嘴 (はし, 'beak'), describing the bird's prominent feature. The exact historical derivation is uncertain.
