Blyth's brown hornbill

Psilopogon eximius

Blyth's brown hornbill (Psilopogon eximius) is a medium-sized bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive brown plumage with a black and white tail. This hornbill is known for its unique nesting behavior, as it seals the female inside a tree cavity during the breeding season. Blyth's brown hornbill primarily feeds on fruits, insects, and small animals. It plays a vital role in seed dispersal and forest regeneration. However, habitat loss and hunting pose significant threats to its population.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical forests
