This is not all, he also explained, “They move together and live very long. When the couple is expecting they go shopping for a house. A nest. It can be a natural cavity in a tree or nest of some other bird or their old nest.”He then shared how the female at this point seals itself inside the nest while keeping open only a small slit. “After finding that house the female will enter. She will occupy the nest and will seal the nest from inside with whatever material is available. Just a small slit will be kept for open food. Like this one. A female hornbill is inside it,” he tweeted.Take a look at the posts:
