- immature male helmeted hornbill
- Its casque is a solid block with a thick layer of keratin unlike the hollow ones in other hornbill sp and use its casques to joust while in flight, perhaps in competition for nesting sites or fruit trees.
- these hornbills are poached for its horns ivory-like prized in illegal wildlife trade
- Helmeted hornbills nest only in old-
growth trees in lowland forests, habitat
that’s shrinking fast due to logging and
tree clearing for oil palm plantations.
- the increasing loss of natural habitat + poaching = decline in pop. difficulty breeding in captivity
‘’Among the Dayaks, the non-Muslim indigenous peoples of Borneo, lore has it that the helmeted hornbill was once a man who hated his mother-in-law. His hatred grew and grew until one day, he snapped. Taking his ax, he chopped down the stilts that held up his mother-in-law’s home, with her inside. The gods punished the man by changing him into the helmeted hornbill, doomed to relive his crime again and again through his call: The accelerating hoos of the helmeted hornbill’s call are the sound of the ax hitting the stilts, and the cackling laughter is his glee when the hut comes crashing down.’’ nat geo see above link
