The Wrinkled Hornbill is known to be a loyal bird that stays with its chosen partner for life as they are monogamous. They build nests inside tree holes where the female will close the hole using muds and droppings, and only leaving a small hole to be fed by the male.

This is a Wrinkled Hornbill (Rhabdotorrhinus corrugatus). Hornbills are one of the amazing big birds but many Asian hornbills are threatened by hunting and habitat loss, as they tend to require primary forest.

small bird nests 在 SABAH, Malaysian Borneo Facebook 的精選貼文
The Whiskered Treeswift can be distinguished by its two parallel white lines that contrast with its dark colored head. When building a nest, both female and male adults build it together using their saliva, feathers, and twigs. They are known to have small nests that can allow only a single egg, where the female adult squats on the branch instead of on the nest itself. 🐦
