The Helmeted Hornbill Is A Species Of Hornbill Tha..

The Helmeted Hornbill is a species of hornbill that is recognisable because of their unique appearance, which includes a prominent beak long tail feathers, and their loud call, which echoes through the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia 🌳 🌏

The term “Helmeted” comes from the prominent structure of the hornbill’s beak, known as a casque. They love tropical fruit, especially figs and play an important role as seed dispersers. 🌱

These beautiful and fascinating creatures are sadly only one stage away from being extinct, which is why we need to play our part by reporting any poaching or trading activity to the relevant authorities!
