Silvery-Cheeked Hornbill Bycanistes Brevis
Silvery-cheeked Hornbill Bycanistes brevis Class: Aves Order: Bucerotiformes Family: Bucerotidae Characteristics: A fairly large bird with a cream-colored, lightweight casque (“horn”) on top of its beak. The head has silvery-grey feathers (hence the name) and the rest of the body is covered with black or white feathers. In males, the casque is larger than the females. Otherwise they are quite similar. Behavior: They usually live in pairs and, as they are fairly gregarious, will sometimes roost in flocks of several hundred individuals (Beauty of Birds). They have a fairly wide range through which they fly long distances feeding on fruits and small birds in flight. They return to their tree roost at night. Reproduction: They breed in the African spring (September and October). The female finds a cavity and, with the male’s help, seals herself in leaving a small hole through which he feeds her regurgitated fruit. She lays a clutch of 1-3 eggs which hatch following a 40-day incubation period (Oiseaux Birds). Diet: Wild: mainly fruits but will also eat insects, small birds, rodents, small reptiles, centipedes Zoo: softbill, fruit/veg mix, hardboiled egg, dog food and parrot pellets Conservation: The population appears to be quite stable and has a large range, however their numbers seem to be declining in Zimbabwe (Biodiversity Explorer). FYI: The hornbill is one of the few birds that have eyelashes to shield them from sun and dust (Pittsburg Zoo). . -

Over the past two de- cades, a wealth of new fossil discoveries and phylogenetic and macroevolutionary studies has transformed our understanding of how birds originated and became so successful. Birds evolved from theropod dino- saurs during the Jurassic (around 165–150 million years ago) and their classic small, lightweight, feathered, and winged body plan was pieced together gradually over tens of millions of years of evolution rather than in one burst of innovation. Early birds diversified throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous, becoming capable fliers with supercharged growth rates, but were decimated at the end-Cretaceous extinction alongside their close dinosaurian relatives. After the mass extinction, modern birds (members of the avian crown group) explosively diversified, culminating in more than 10,000 species distributed worldwide today.

The discovery learning how to sing, were discovered in 1976. of similar sets of brain structures in parrots and Since then, with still growing momentum, there hummingbirds throws new light on how brain has been a wealth of fascinating discoveries on structures for vocal learning have evolved. The the structure, function, and evolution of the shared features imply that there are strong brains of birds, especially those that engage in epigenetic constraints placed on the brain and vocal learning. Less than half of all birds possess behavior during evolution, and suggest that the ability to learn and reproduce new sounds. perhaps humans evolved somewhat similar brain These vocal learners, parrots, hummingbirds, and structures for speech and singing. Although the songbirds belong to only 3 of the 23 major bird cognitive side of song learning hardly bears groups. They have the necessary forebrain comparison with human speech, ‘bird-brained’ anatomy for producing learned vocalizations. All need no longer be a pejorative. If a parrot imitates other birds use only basal brain structures for its own and other species’ sounds so readily and vocal production and their vocalizations are a child can hardly be prevented from learning to innate, and genetically inherited from their speak, how is it that a chimpanzee does neither? parents. The answer perhaps lies in the fact that no brain Of the birds that are vocal learners, most is structures have been found in chimpanzees known about songbirds, especially the canary equivalent to those present in songbirds and and the zebra finch. -
