Male Wreathed Hornbill Returns To Its Nest

A male Wreathed Hornbill returns to its nest where its female has sealed herself in a cavity over 20m off the ground.

In this confined state, certain species may even experience feather moulting, leaving them especially vulnerable. The female’s survival, along with that of her chicks, depends entirely on the male, who travels great distances to gather food and guard the nest. His unwavering efforts ensure his family has the best chance of thriving in their secluded home.
