Great Indian Hornbill (Buceros bicornis) at Valparai, Tamilnadu

We have spotted these beautiful bird " Great Indian Hornbill" at Valparai, Tamilnadu. Also known as Great Pied Hornbill
Life span 35-50 years, form monogamous pair bonds, Nest can be found on tall trees, Female hornbills build nests and the opening is sealed with a plaster made up mainly of feces. Only a small slit will be there to be fed by her mate. She remains imprisoned in her nest until the chicks are semi-developed
Best way to spot is to identify the nest ( Nest is shown at the end of video). It usually follow the same timing morning & evening. Also u can look for fig trees nearby.
