Yellow-billed hornbill (Tockus flavirostris). Or Eastern Yellowbilled hornbill. Hornbills have a long curved bill and long rounded wings. This bird, one of the smallest of the hornbills, can reach over half a metre in height. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on insects and plant matter. Though it is clumsy in flight, it catches termites on the wing and pursues grasshoppers along the ground. When breeding, the female is walled-up in the nest hole and fed by the male. The yellow-billed hornbill is found throughout the jungles and scrublands of Africa below the Sahara.
