The male Is fond of perching on the tiptop of tropical- trees and ranking n noise like n yoTfng puppy. The natives In Africa find young hornbills easily tamed. They dig the birds out of the tree nests when quite young and rnlse them on milk and berries In their huts. When grown the hornblll remains attached to Its foster parents and will eat out of the same dishes. Left free, the hornblll comes and goes much as does a pet crow nnd remains about the hut un til the first mating season, when It goes awny with one of Its kind, rare ly to return.
