The Wreathed Hornbill is a large and striking hornbill of Southeast Asia, characterized by its glossy black body, a yellow or orange wreathed pattern on its gular pouch, and a large, ridged pale bill with a prominent casque. Males have a bright yellow casque, while females have a smaller, bluish casque.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including northeastern India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, and parts of China. Inhabits evergreen and moist deciduous forests.
How to spot
Look for its large size, glossy black body, and the distinctive wreathed pattern on the gular pouch. The male's yellow casque and female's bluish casque are good identifiers. Listen for its loud, deep, cackling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitat. Active during daylight hours, often seen flying in flocks over the canopy or foraging in large fruit trees.
