@exessex3522 2 жыл бұрын
Wow! What a piece of filming! I've seen snakes and other birds (hawks, falcons, even gulls) catching flying bats before but seeing hornbills do it was a wow moment for me. Wildlife footage about hornbills often focuses on their unusual habit of incarcerating the nesting female in a hole in a tree with the male then responsible for all the feeding. The adults seem to eat mostly fruit but once the chicks hatch, the male brings in a lot of large insects and other invertebrates, like mantises. I've never seen one deliver a mammal before. Brilliant bit of photography - well done!
@ausgepicht Ай бұрын
The maneuverability of both birds is absolutely incredible. The Hornbills are like VTOL jets when they want to be. Since they don't have those talons and speed that a hawk-eagle has, they just work smarter, not harder. Seems like a smarter way to conserve energy if you don't have to capabilities of the hawk-eagles.
