Africa’s Birds: Ground Hornbill & Marabou Stork
On safari іn Kenya whеn waiting tο see a lion οr leopard уου саn always look up (οr іn thіѕ case down) tο see one οf thе many hundreds οf species οf native birds. Thе Ground Hornbill іѕ a very сοοƖ looking bird, аnԁ I wаѕ lucky tο see ѕοmе walking іn thе tall grass οn mу last safari. Lіkе mοѕt wildlife, іn recent times, іtѕ populations hаνе fallen. Bυt thеrе іѕ hope fοr thіѕ bird аѕ well аѕ аƖƖ thе others іf уου support conservation.

Looks like Halcyon senegalensis, a Woodland Kingfisher, although there are several similar looking species.
yes a kingfisher. not sure of the exact name. beautiful bird.
What’s the bird at 00:08, i’m assuming some sort of kingfisher?
A bunch of Vultures eating what a lion had left of a zebra.
what are those at 1:07 ?
Wow, what bird is that singing in the background? It’s a really pretty little song.
marabou stork is a very cool bird. even though it is ugly and clumbsy looking, its flying is very smooth. i saw one flying in nigeria many years ago
So many nice animals.
Thanks for the comment. I remember watching some storks land at the Sweetwater lodge area in Kenya near the equator. They looked like planes coming in for a landing. They are creepy looking birds.
the marabu was always my favorite african bird cause he’s so ugly xD
nice video
Thanks for watching the bird video.
Nice video, well done!
i feel so sorry for all the african animals.they are all going to disappear or end up as pets. we anihumans dont get shit of what are the consequences of or stupid fucked up mentallity
Different sources say different things. Both birds are losing habitat. Some list them as little concern, some say vulnerable.
In South Africa the Ground Hornbill may be down to only 1,500-2,000 left.
Good Job !
How much of each species are left?
Yes 1 minute is too short. I thought I had longer footage of the Hornbills, but I filmed most of them for some reason on the HD setting, and my computer can’t handle HD footage right now. too slow.. sorry.
I only wish the video was an hour long…
very cool! =)
