Near Threatened

The Brown Hornbill is a large-billed hornbill of African and Asian forests, savannas, and wooded edges. It feeds on fruit, insects, and small animals in forest or savanna, often dispersing seeds over long distances. Many hornbills seal the nesting female inside a tree cavity while the male delivers food.
