	Hornbill Species in Thailand
		In Asia, hornbills mainly live in monsoon evergreen forests or rainforests and their distribution and 1997 estimated population sizes in Thailand are indicated in Maps 1-4.
		Hornbills nest in cavities in living trees such as Dipterocarpus sp.
		They are unable to excavate their own nest holes and they must find available cavities, indeed, the availability of nesting cavities of an appropriate size is one of the population limiting factors.

	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.
		The Yellow-billed Hornbill is often seen around the dung middens of rhino and fresh elephant droppings where it feasts on dung beetles, while the Crowned Hornbill is adept at dealing with dangerous wasps and noxious caterpillars.
		Although hornbills may be rather common in some environments, their status is easily affected by the disappearance of suitable trees in which to breed.

	Asia Times: THE WILD SIDE Thailand's hornbill savior gets her message across
		Not only are hornbills one of the rare birds that mate for life, but their bizarre breeding habits absolutely demand that the female selects a mate she can rely on to feed her while she is incubating her eggs.
		The Asian hornbills are known as the quintessential forest birds not only because they are unable to withstand direct sunlight for long periods, but their nesting habits mean that they need a ready supply of large old trees to be able to breed.
		The hornbills of Thailand would certainly be a lot worse off today if 20 years ago they not acquired an energetic champion who was determined to ensure that these magnificent birds survive to thrill future generations.

	Hornbills
		Hornbills (family (biology) 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.
		During incubation, the female (of all species except the two ground hornbills) is locked within the nest cavity by a wall made of mud, droppings and fruit pulp.
		However, the Helmeted Hornbill has a solid casque made of a material called hornbill ivory, which the Chinese valued greatly as a carving material, as did the Japanese, who often used it to make netsuke.
