Like all Palawan hornbills, this one, named Szczurek, is quite timid unless she’s busy playing with leaves and sticks. These beautiful birds are currently listed as Vulnerable by #IUCN, mainly due to hunting and deforestation in lowland Palawan, so it’s wonderful news that this girl was the first of her kind to have hatched and been raised in human care. She was born at @ZooWroclaw, where there are many breeding programs in place with the goal of maintaining the numbers of species that would have otherwise perished.
Normally, in the wild, male hornbills assist their female partners by building a nest made of mud around her, leaving just a small cavity through which he delivers food. The chicks hatch and are raised inside the nest until they’re ready to fly on their own. Now that’s some cooperative parenting!
