	African birds with your wildlife guide
		In Africa, hornbills have adapted to survive in habitats ranging from the wettest rainforests to the fringes of the arid Namib Desert, but they are best represented in forests and savannah, where an abundance of nesting cavities and food is to be found.
		All hornbills are hole-nesters, and it is fairly well-known that the female typically seals herself into the nesting cavity once her clutch of eggs has been laid.
		Although hornbills may be rather common in some environments, their status is easily affected by the disappearance of suitable trees in which to breed.
