A male hornbill was captured on video bringing food to the female who was busy hatching their eggs.

The nest is hidden in a natural tree cavity and the whole incubation process will take about 3 months. Hornbills are known for their unique nesting habits, and this footage shows just how dedicated these birds are to their offspring.
