Rufous-necked hornbill

Pterorhinus sannio

The Rufous-necked hornbill is a large bird found in the forests of Southeast Asia. It is known for its striking appearance, with a black body, white tail, and a distinctive rufous-colored neck. This hornbill species is known for its loud, raucous calls that echo through the forest canopy. They are primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits, and play an important role in seed dispersal. The Rufous-necked hornbill is often seen in pairs or small groups and is known for its impressive aerial acrobatics. Unfortunately, habitat loss and hunting pose significant threats to its population.
