During nesting, the female and her young are completely dependent on the male for food. If something happens to the male, the whole family will usually die.
Having appeared in many fairy tales of the previous generation with the name PHOENIX EARTH, the sad thing is that now the hornbill is on the list of species facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild due to the terrible hunting speed of humans for meat, jewelry, decorative specimens... Not to mention the need to raise them as pets, along with the severe impact on the living environment, has pushed the hornbill to the brink of extinction in the wild
As an omnivore, the hornbill's favorite food is fruits, worms, insects, even some small rodents and other small birds. Usually living in pairs throughout their lives, the hornbill is also known as a faithful bird. However, there are times when the hornbill forms flocks of up to 40 individuals
One of the tree species that the hornbill prefers to shelter and nest in during the breeding season is the tung tree (also known as thung, dang, bung...) because the large tree cavity and the ideal height of the tung tree are suitable for the large size of the hornbill, along with the habit of resting on the canopy of tall trees. With this characteristic, the hornbill is considered one of the indicators of the high forest floor and perennial trees.
The hornbill is a faithful bird, mating and living monogamous for life. The bird usually roosts on high tree branches, only nesting in tree cavities from February to March every year to lay eggs, incubate eggs and take care of the chicks. The female stays inside to cover the mouth of the nest and only leaves the nest after about 3 months to help the male find food for the chicks and protect the nest from the outside. The chicks still stay in the nest for about 1 month before being ready to leave the nest.
With its beautiful and unique appearance, since ancient times, the red-cockatoo has been honored by many tribes as a precious bird with supreme power, so they chose the red-cockatoo as a mascot to worship the gods during festivals.#animals #animalworld #wildanimals #動物 #tiere #Animales #동물들 #animaux #animali#hornbill# bird#nest
