Blyth's hornbill

Rhyticeros everetti

The Blyth's hornbill (Rhyticeros everetti) is a medium-sized bird native to the forests of Borneo and nearby islands. It is known for its striking appearance, featuring a large yellow horn-like casque on top of its bill. These hornbills are important seed dispersers, feeding on fruits and spreading seeds across the forest. They are also known for their loud, raucous calls that echo through the forest canopy. Blyth's hornbills form monogamous pairs and nest in tree cavities. They play a vital role in the ecosystem and are a symbol of the rich biodiversity of the Bornean forests.
