Rhinoceros Hornbill (lemmygrad.ml)

The rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros) is a large species of forest hornbill (Bucerotidae). In captivity it can live for up to 35 years. It is found in lowland and montane, tropical and subtropical climates and in mountain rain forests up to 1,400 metres in Borneo, Sumatra, Java, the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and southern Thailand. Rhinoceros hornbills are large cavity-nesting birds with black plumage, a white abdomen and a long, white tail crossed by a wide black band. Male and female rhinoceros hornbills look alike, except males have brownish-red eyes and females have blueish-white eyes. Rhinoceros hornbills mostly eat fruits, especially figs. They also eat bird eggs, bugs, small reptiles and frogs. They pick up food with their beak and throw their head back to swallow it down. Predators of Hornbills include owls, eagles, and humans. They give low, resonant calls, usually in series: either a single-syllabled “rohh” or a disyllabic “roh-ow. Here is a link so you can listen to this bird too.
