Nesting news flash! The ground hornbills have been busy this spring. Caught on our hidden cam, 9-month-old Everest is diving headfirst into family duties, helping build a cozy nest with his parents. It’s incredible to see him learning and growing in preparation for his future! #hornbill #groundhornbill #nest #birdnest #zoo #marylandzoo
