Indian Hornbill
The Indian Hornbill is a large bird native to the forests of the Indian subcontinent. It is known for its distinctive curved bill, which is often brightly colored. These birds are social creatures, typically found in pairs or small groups, and they play an important role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds.
Indian Hornbills primarily feed on fruits, insects, and small animals. They are known for their unique nesting behavior, where the female seals herself inside a tree cavity during breeding, leaving only a small opening for the male to provide food. This fascinating adaptation helps protect the young from predators.
