Soaring High

Soaring high, one of the largest hornbill species appears as a small bird in the sky. With fruit in its beak, it signals the presence of a plentiful food source within its territory.

Natural cavities are essential for hornbills, providing crucial nesting sites where they raise their young. Larger hornbill species require large trees with spacious cavities. During breeding season, usually aligned with flowering periods, the pair copulates near their chosen site. The female then enters the cavity and seals herself inside, leaving only a small slit for food and to ward off predators.
