Guardian of Ecological Balance

The Malabar Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros griseus) is a distinctive bird native to the Malabar region of the Western Ghats, known for its large, curved bill and striking grey plumage. These monogamous hornbills, often seen in pairs or small family groups, play a crucial role in their ecosystem. During breeding season, females seal themselves inside tree cavities, leaving a small slit for the male to provide food, showcasing their unique nesting behaviour.
