Status and distributionThe Malabar pied hornbill is a common resident breeder in India and Sri Lanka. Its habitat is evergreen and moist deciduous forests, often near human settlements. DescriptionThe Malabar pied hornbill is a large hornbill, at {{Convert|65|cm|abbr=on}} in length. It has mainly black plumage, apart from its white belly, throat patch, tail sides and trailing edge to the wings. The bill is yellow with a large, mainly black casque. Females have white orbital skin, which the males lack. Juveniles have no casque. It might be confused with the oriental pied hornbill. Natural historyThis species is omnivorous, taking fruits, small mammals, birds, small reptiles, insects etc. Prey is killed and swallowed whole. Figs are an important food, contributing 60% of their diet from May to February, the non-breeding season; during breeding, in March and April, up to 75% of the fruits delivered at the nest were figs. They also feed on other fruits, including those of the Strychnos nux-vomica, which are toxic to many vertebrates.[3] During incubation, the female lays two or three white eggs in a tree hole, which is blocked off with a cement made of mud, droppings and fruit pulp. There is only one narrow aperture, just big enough for the male to transfer food to the mother and chicks. When the chicks have grown too large for the mother to fit in the nest with them, she breaks out and rebuilds the wall, after which both parents feed the chicks. Great pied hornbills and Malabar pied hornbills are frequently spotted at the township of the Kaiga Atomic Power Station near Karwar. The rich biodiversity in the forest around the plant has become a niche for a wide variety of rare bird species.[4] A study comparing populations over a 23-year period at Dandeli found no significant change.[5] In central India, tribal peoples believed that hanging a skull of the hornbill (known as dhanchidiya) brought wealth.[6] Notes1. ^{{IUCN|id=22682433 |title=Anthracoceros coronatus |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2012 |accessdate=26 November 2013}} 2. ^[https://archive.is/20120708062513/http://avis.indianbiodiversity.org/bibliography-of-coraciiformes-bucerotidae-hornbills/bibliography-of-malabar-pied-hornbill-anthracoceros-coronatus.html Bibliography of Malabar Pied Hornbill - Anthracoceros coronatus] 3. ^Balasubramanian, P.; R.
