Wreathed hornbill at Jacksonville Zoo begins nesting, community invited to watch livestream

The Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens announced that Bacall, its female wreathed hornbill, is nesting and has invited the community to follow along through a livestream of the nest!

Bacall is expected to remain inside the enclosure for several months while Humphrey, the male hornbill, delivers food through a narrow slit in the entrance. This behavior is unique to hornbills, with females sealing themselves in using a mixture of mud, fruit and droppings to create a protected space for their eggs and potential chicks.
