 BREEDING BIOLOGY OF THE MALABAR GREY HORNBILL (OCYCEROS GRISEUS) IN SOUTHERN WESTERN GHATS, INDIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-01)
Abstract: The Malabar Grey hornbill (Ocyceros griseus) is a frugivore, endemic to the tropical rainforests and moist and deciduous forests of the Western Ghats hill ranges, India.
The author studied its breeding biology in the Annamalai hills (Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary), Tamilnadu state, by monitoring 10 nests and theirs middens, and conducting intensive observations at a focal nest.
Although the Malabar Grey hornbill used a wide range of food resources,it was observed that a few species of rare, tropical trees producing lipid-rich fruits during the nesting period,play an important role in the maintenance if the species.

Numerous other animal species are found here, including the Malabar civet (Viverra civettina), Sloth bear (Ursus ursinus), Tiger (Panthera tigris), and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).
The endemic bird species of the region include the Malabar parakeet (Psittacula columboides), Malabar grey-hornbill (Ocyceros griseus), Nilgiri pipit (Anthus nilghiriensis), and the Nilgiri flycatcher (Eumyias albicaudata).
Among the unusual trees that shelter and feed these creatures are 13 species of dipterocarps - large, commercially and ecologically valuable tropical hardwood trees.

However they are also seen taking small fruits occasionally.
Sri Lanka has two species of hornbills, the Malabar Pied (Anthracoceros coronatus) and the Ceylon Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros gingalensis).
The Malabar Pied has a double beak or casque, as in the Toucans in South America, but the Grey Hornbill, called Alu Kendetta in Sinhala and Irattai Chondu Kuruvi in Tamil, has only a single curved beak.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Malabar Coast moist forests (IM0124)
The ecoregion has an estimated 280 bird species, including one near-endemic species, the Malabar grey hornbill (Ocyceros griseus), which is shared with the submontane and montane ecoregions of the Western Ghats Mountains (table 2).
Other species such as the greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber), Indian grey hornbill (Ocyceros birostris), and great hornbill (Buceros bicornis), though not threatened, are nevertheless sensitive to disturbances and can be used as focal species for conservation.
More than 95 percent of the ecoregion's natural habitat has been cleared or converted.
