The Bushy-crested Hornbill is a medium-sized hornbill of Southeast Asia, characterized by its mostly dull blackish-brown plumage and a unique, shaggy crest of feathers on its head, giving it a somewhat unkempt appearance. Its bill is dark with a modest casque.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and parts of Thailand and Myanmar. Inhabits lowland evergreen rainforests.
How to spot
Look for its dull brown plumage and the distinctive bushy crest. It's often heard before seen, so listen for its loud, cackling and squawking calls as a flock moves through the trees.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitat. Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging in groups through the forest canopy.
