Item Description
The Southern Red-billed Hornbill is a medium-sized bird from the hornbill family, found in sub-Saharan Africa. Characteristic features of this hornbill are its striking, slightly curved beak, which is bright red with a yellow base, as well as its contrasting plumage: its back and wings are black, while its underside is white. Its name derives from its resemblance to a magpie in plumage coloration.
Southern Red-billed Hornbills predominantly live in open savannas, open woodlands, and bushlands. They mainly feed on insects, fruits, and small vertebrates. During the breeding season, they are known for their extraordinary behavior: the female seals the nest cavity with mud and droppings, while her mate feeds her from the outside.
Their lively behavior and loud, clicking calls make them stand out significantly in their habitat.
