Tentang

The Black-casqued Hornbill is a large, impressive hornbill of West and Central African lowland rainforests, with glossy black plumage, a large casqued yellow-and-red bill, and a pale blue facial skin. It inhabits the canopy of primary and tall secondary forests from Nigeria east through the Congo Basin. It feeds mainly on figs and other large fruits, swallowing them whole, and plays an important role as a seed disperser.
