Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill feeding on a Scorpion. This bird is also locally known as a "Flying Banana". This bird mainly feeds on the ground, where they forage for seeds, small insects, spiders and scorpions. Termites and ants are a preferred food source in the dry season. This hornbill is a common, widespread resident of the dry thorn fields and broad-leafed woodlands and also can be seen along tracks and roads.
