The commonest Asian Hornbill.
Taxonomy
Forms a superspecies with Malabar Pied Hornbill and Palawan Hornbill. Was long considered to be conspecific with Malabar Pied Hornbill and the two species have been confused several times, leading to synonymy of common and scientific names.

Clements recognises the following subspecies [1]:
- A. a. albirostris: northern India and southern Nepal east to China (Yunnan, Guangxi) and south to Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and northern peninsular Malaysia
- A. a. convexus: "Sunda Pied Hornbill". southern peninsular Malaysia to Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Bali and many adjacent smaller islands
Habitat
Open habitat such as forest edge, clearings and secondary forest. Occurs up to 700m.
Behaviour
Diet
Feeds mainly on fruit, takes also small animals.
Breeding
Breeds in pairs. Nests in a natural cavity in a tree. The incubating females are sealed into tree hole nests with mud, leaving only a small aperture through which food can be passed by the male. When the young are hatched the female breaks out but reseals the nest entrance again until the young are ready to leave.
