About Indian Grey Hornbill:

Indian Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros birostris) is a fairly common hornbill species found only in the Indian subcontinent. It is a medium-sized hornbill with a brownish-grey body. Its IUCN Status is Least Concern.
It plays an essential role in the ecosystem as prime dispersers of seeds. It is also one of the few hornbill species found in urban areas. These birds are known to be arboreal, i.e. spend most of their time on tall trees but may descend for food and to collect mud pellets for nesting.
They are threatened primarily by habitat loss in the cities and the cutting down of large trees, which is important for both food and nesting. Gujarat Forest Department is reintroducing the Indian grey hornbill in Gir Forest after almost 90 years.
