  2. Scientific Name: Bucorvusabyssinicus • Found largely in open grasslands/savanna of Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern edge of Sahara Desert • Although desert inhabitants, never been recorded drinking water [in wild] • Remain monogamous when breeding [return to same nest site annually] • Life span is unknown

  3. Please View Ethogram and Other Sheet on Table Throughout Presentation[You will be prompted]

  4. Communicationprocess by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding • Thought: First, information exists in the mind of the sender. This can be a concept, idea, information, or feelings. • Encoding: Next, a message is sent to a receiver in words or other symbols. • Decoding: lastly, the receiver translates the words or symbols into a concept or information that he or she can understand.

  5. Two main types of communication: • Verbal: involves noises, vocal chords, words, language [conveying a message with words/sounds] • Nonverbal: involves body language, gesture, facial expression, eye contact, hairstyle, clothing, etc. [conveying a message without words/sounds]

  6. #1: How do hornbills communicate with one another [vocally or nonverbally]?

  7. Communicating Behaviors of Hornbills [reference ethogram] Verbal Behaviors Observed: • NM [noise making]  8/9 min • Nonverbal Behaviors Observed: • RF [rustling feathers]  1/3 min • C2 {coming to glass/fence]  1/9 min • PW [people watching]  1/9 min • BOB [bobbing head up/down]  2/3 min

  8. Conclusion… BOTH! [See sheet beside ethogram for further explanation]

  9. Locomotionact of moving from place to place Bird locomotion varies: • Swim • Run • Fly • Some [like Hornbill] use combination of these

  10. L O C O M O T I O N ? #2 What is the Hornbill’s main means of
