Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | A final look at the Rhinoceros Hornbill before we move on. These hornbills lay their eggs inside tree trunks and the female stays inside with the eggs and then with the chicks, while the male brings them food. After the eggs are laid, the male collects mud and the pair pack that mud, along with food and feces, to wall up the tree cavity entrance. This creates a very small hole, only large enough for the male to feed the female (and later chicks) and for the female to defecate out the hole. Once the babies are fully feathered and old enough to leave the nest, the parents chip away the dry mud so the chicks can get out. The Rhinoceros Hornbill eats fruit, insects, small reptiles, rodents and smaller birds. The Rhinoceros Hornbill faces a number of threats, including habitat loss and hunting for its meat, its feathers and its casque, which can be carved into an ornament.
