Hornbill

Named after the horn-like combs found on the heads of both males and females, the hornbill are extremely protective of their young and will use their similarly hard beaks to pummel any predator that might seek to raid their nests, such as Ixali falconers who steal fledgling hornbills and train them to hunt.

While on one hand the Hingans believe the brilliant ruby hornbill a servant of their sun deity, Amaterasu, this does not deter them from capturing the birds en masse and training them to perform in plays and grotesqueries.
