"Hornbills (Family Bucerotidae) are a group of birds whose bill is shaped like a cow's horn, but without a twist, sometimes with a casque on the upper mandible. Frequently, the bill is brightly coloured. Most are arboreal birds of dense forest, but the large Ground Hornbills, as their name implies, are terrestrial birds of open savanna. Their distribution ranges from Africa south of the Sahara, tropical Asia, Philippines and Solomon Islands. Hornbills are omnivorous birds, eating fruit, insects and small animals".
