Bucerotidae

The Family Bucerotidae, also known as hornbills, is a group of tropical and subtropical bird species found primarily in Africa and Asia. They are known for their distinctive curved bills, often brightly colored and used for various purposes, including feeding, fighting, and courtship displays. Hornbills are also known for their unique nesting habits, with females often sealing themselves inside tree cavities to protect their eggs and young. Despite their fascinating behaviors, many hornbill species are threatened by habitat loss and hunting, making conservation efforts crucial for survival.
