Question

The African Hornbills are birds who take the responsibility of parenthood seriously. The female bird lays her eggs in a hollow tree while her mate plasters her in. He does this with very wet mud and uses his big bill. The female hornbill stays in this cell-like compound until her young are about three weeks old. The male pushes food to her through a hole that is only big enough for the tip of his bill.
