"The Hornbill's Wings: A Dance of Beauty and Strength"

The great hornbill (Buceros bicornis) is a large bird species found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its bright yellow and black casque on top of its massive bill, which serves no known purpose but is thought to be the result of sexual selection. Males engage in aerial casque butting, striking each other in flight, and spread preen gland secretion onto their primary feathers and bill to give them the bright yellow color. The species is predominantly frugivorous but also preys on small mammals, reptiles, and birds. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and hunting pressure. The great hornbill is known to live for nearly 50 years in captivity and is considered important in many tribal cultures and rituals, leading to its designation as the official state bird of Kerala, India.
