Hornbills are a family of birds found in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia. They are characterized by a long, down-curved bill, often brightly colored, and occasionally featuring a casque on the upper mandible. The most distinctive feature of hornbills is their heavy bill, supported by powerful neck muscles and fused vertebrae, aiding in various functions from fighting to preening. Fun fact: Hornbills are celebrated for their distinctive bills and powerful neck muscles.
