Feeding Habits
Black Hornbill's diet predominantly consists of large, lipid-rich fruits and at least 17 species of figs, supplementing with small animals, insects, and sometimes bats and eggs. Black Hornbill forages in the lower forest layers, utilizes its bill to open fruit husks, and is known to catch bats at dusk for its young.
Habitat
The black Hornbill typically resides in primary evergreen forests of lowland regions, frequently occurring in areas characterized by dense and unlogged forest coverage. Its habitat also stretches into adjoining gallery forests, as well as inundated tidal swamp forests and areas with tall, regrown secondary forests. Predominantly, the black Hornbill is associated with lush, humid forest habitats in broader tropical regions.
