The African grey hornbill or Lophoceros nasutus is a member of the hornbill family of tropical near-passerine birds found in the Old World.

The male African Grey Hornbill has a black bill, whereas the female has red on the mandibles. The plumage of the male and female is similar. Immature birds are more uniformly grey.

Average Lifespan is up to 40 years in captivity, (15 years in the wild). Their predators include Ayres’s hawk eagle and the Lanner falcon.

Most hornbills are omnivorous and eat a combination of fruit, insects, and other small wildlife. The birds can use the tip of their bill as a finger to pluck fruit from trees or animals off the ground.
