Short Description:

Indian Grey Hornbill is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive appearance. It has a primarily gray plumage with a white belly and black markings on its wings and tail. One of its most striking features is the large, downward-curved bill with a casque, or hollow structure, on top. Males and females are similar in appearance, although females may have a smaller casque.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Indian Grey Hornbill is primarily found in the northern and northwestern regions, including parts of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Azad Kashmir. It inhabits a variety of forested habitats, including tropical and subtropical forests, as well as wooded areas near rivers and streams.

Indian Grey Hornbills are typically seen in pairs or small family groups. They are mainly frugivorous, feeding on a diet consisting primarily of fruits, although they may also consume insects, small reptiles, and occasionally small mammals. Their large bills are well-suited for grasping and crushing fruits.
