The Indian Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros birostris) is a big bird commonly seen in places with big trees. They have grey feathers all over the body with a light grey or dull white belly. They have a big horn-like beak which is black or dark grey with a casque extending up to the point of curvature in the horn. They are monogamous, remaining with one partner for life. A unique characteristic of this bird is that the female goes inside the nest which is sealed, both from inside & outside, just leaving only a small hole for feeding the female. In this way, they safeguard the eggs and hatchlings. For more than two months, like a great tapaswi, she remains inside the nest, and the male, like a dedicated caretaker, feeds the female and then also the chicks. Called धनेश in Hindi.
