Why Does This Bird Seal Herself Inside a Tree? | Full Episode

🐾 Free animal facts + downloads: https://wildwonderatlas.com/yt Behind a narrow crack in a tree trunk is a female pied hornbill, and she built the wall herself. She seals the nest entrance from inside with material that can include mud and droppings, leaving one slit for food. Her mate becomes the family's food delivery service, bringing fruit, insects and other animal food trip after trip. In one Singapore study, the eggs hatched after about four weeks and nest confinement lasted roughly two to three months. When the chicks are ready, she breaks the seal.
