curaca, bahia, brazil - september 17, 2023: ostrich bird - Struthio camelus - seen on a farm in the rural area of the municipality of Curaca, backlands of Bahia.
The Hornbill, with its distinctive casque and vibrant plumage, is a majestic bird that captures the imagination of all who encounter it. Found predominantly in the tropical forests of Africa and Asia, this avian wonder is not just a symbol of the wilderness but also a beacon of wisdom in many cultures. The Hornbill's striking appearance is marked by its large bill, adorned with a casque that serves various purposes, from vocal amplification to a display of dominance. This unique feature, combined with its graceful flight and commanding presence, makes the Hornbill a true spectacle of nature.\n\nIn the wild, Hornbills play a crucial role in their ecosystem. They are essential seed dispersers, aiding in the growth and regeneration of forests. Their diet consists mainly of fruits, insects, and small animals, which they skillfully catch with their robust beaks. The Hornbill's nesting habits are equally fascinating; the female seals herself in a tree cavity, relying on the male to bring her food until their chicks are ready to face the world. This act of cooperation and dedication is a testament to the strong family bonds within the Hornbill species.\n\nCulturally, Hornbills hold significant meaning. In many indigenous tribes, they are seen as symbols of fertility, strength, and protection. Their feathers and casques are often used in traditional rituals and adornments, signifying respect and reverence for these magnificent creatures. The Hornbill's presence in folklore and mythology underscores its importance across different societies, where it is often depicted as a messenger between the earthly and spiritual realms.

Peacock or Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) also known as common peafowl or blue peafowl, is native to the Indian subcontinent. Belonging to the family Phasianidae, it’s the national bird of India. It is brightly coloured, with a predominantly blue fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship. Peahens lack the train, they have a white face and iridescent green lower neck, and dull brown plumage.
