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.
