Fun Fact
Adult pairs are monogamous, and the male courts the female for about one month prior to breeding. During this time he will present her with offerings of food. They plaster over a tree cavity to build their nest, leaving only a small hole so the male can feed the female while she sits on the eggs.
Supporting Species Survival
Zoo New England participates in the rhinoceros hornbill Species Survival Plan. By sharing research and knowledge, participating institutions work together to establish guidelines that best ensure the health of captive populations, and with success, the survival of otherwise extinct species.
