Papaun Hornbill
Description:	Papuan Hornbill Range: Eastern Indonesia and New Guinea Habitat: Forests Conservation Status: Common Scientific Name: Aceros plicatus These impressive birds are hunted on their native islands for food and as a trophy. Their skulls are sometimes worn as ornaments. Like other hornbills, they are primarily fruit eaters. During breeding season, the male attracts a mate by bouncing on a branch and calling out with loud, raucous grunts. This species is also known as the Blyth's hornbill. Did You Know? You can tell a female Papuan hornbill from a male by looking at its head. The female's head is all black and the male has rust-colored head feathers.
