Rufous Hornbill

As with other hornbills, females seal themselves within the nest cavity, where they lay the clutch and remain with the growing young for most or all of the nesting period. In some species the male helps with the sealing process from outside the nest cavity. The nestlings and female are fed by the male through a narrow vertical slit in the sealed nest opening.

The Rufous Hornbill is classified as Near Threatened (NT), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.

The colorful but rather creepy-looking Rufous Hornbill is a large species of hornbill endemic to the Philippines. It is also known as Philippine Hornbill and, locally, as Kalaw and occurs in primary, mature secondary and disturbed forests on 11 Philippine islands. It is still common locally, notably in the Sierra Madre of Luzon, but continues to suffer from substantial hunting pressure and widespread loss of habitat. More
