The long white tail has a broad, black band near the center. Their wings beat ‘swoosh, swoosh’ are prominent when in flight. Call: a series of loud honks, barking-like call as the bird flies off.

This is not an insignificant amount of time; a female can be sealed inside the nest for almost 100 days. She molts during this time.

The longest nesting hornbills, the Helmeted Hornbill and the Red Knobbed Hornbill can spend between 167 days to 172 days!
