How about a Tanzanian Red-billed hornbill for your Tuesday morning? Watch him bob and listen to him cry: kok kok kok kok kok kok kokok kokok kokok kokok!
Hornbills are tropical, colorful and widespread. This particular bird (Tockus ruahae) is native to central Tanzania. Red-bills are often found on the ground, using their strong beaks to dig for bugs (and occasionally, seeds).
I always think of Zazu from the Lion King when I see these guys!
Experience a Tanzanian red-billed hornbill for yourself. Join us on an African safari next February.
