In 1829, Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney revolutionized transportation with his ingenious tractor design, which could be transformed into a trailer by hitching horses to the back. This mechanical innovation, known as "Gurney's Machinery," was not limited to human history. In the natural world, the Gurney's Pitta (Pitta gurneyi), a vibrant bird species native to Thailand, takes flight as a symbol of resilience and adaptability. With its striking plumage and distinctive display, this avian Gurney's machinery continues to captivate observers in the lush forests of Khao Nor Chuchi.
