The most faithful bird in the world, giving super sweet love gifts

The hornbill bird is famous for its rare loyalty: it has only one mate for its entire life and even knows how to give "marriage gifts" to conquer the other person's heart.

Recently, a number of rare hornbills have flown into houses in the Central region. Most recently, on the afternoon of October 13, the People's Committee of Truong Son Commune, Quang Tri Province, in coordination with the forest rangers and police, handed over a rare hornbill that was voluntarily surrendered by a local resident to the Center for Rescue, Conservation and Development of Organisms, Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park (Quang Tri) for care and release into the wild.

Considered the most romantic bird in the world, the hornbill will not change partners for life. They will raise and care for their chicks together. Photo: Kalyanvarma, used under CC-BY-SA-3.0 /Cropped and compressed from original.

To pursue a mate, male birds will offer dead animals, twigs, and animal bones as gifts. They will continue to give gifts until the female agrees to mate. Photo: animalia.bio.
