Description / Preening Hornbills Wall Print

Preening Hornbills © Antonio Liebana Navarro (2024). Wildlife Photographer of the Year is owned by the Natural History Museum, London.

Animal Portraits, Highly Commended

Antonio noticed this pair of hornbills in fruit trees in Danum Valley Conservation Area, Malaysia, where the female was preening the hard-to-reach head feathers of the male. Antonio underexposed the image to merge the birds’ black plumage with the background to emphasise their impressive bills.

By cleaning and rearranging each other’s feathers, hornbills strengthen their lifelong bond. These birds have unique breeding behaviour – a female seals itself inside a hole in a large forest tree, and a male passes food through a narrow slit to feed them and their brood of chicks.
