The family Bucerotidae, commonly known as hornbills, consists of large, colorful birds found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. They are characterized by their long, curved bills, which often have a prominent casque on top. Hornbills play a vital role in their ecosystems as seed dispersers, helping to maintain forest health. Hornbills exhibit unique nesting behaviors, where the female seals herself inside a tree cavity during breeding, leaving only a small opening for the male to provide food. This fascinating behavior helps protect the young from predators while ensuring the female's safety during incubation.
