    Fascinating species intro. The curve in the bill is very strong with this one. Posted 9 years ago

The Monteiro's hornbill is an African hornbill. Unlike other hornbills, which are omnivorous, the Monteiro's hornbill feeds exclusively on insects and other small arthropods. Its habitat is the savannah and dry thorn fields of northwest Namibia.
