According to SAEDNEWS, an Eastern Pied Hornbill is sitting on a tree branch while a group of bats passes in front of it, and the bird waits for the right moment to attack.

The Eastern Pied Hornbill has one of the most diverse diets, and hunting flying bats is considered one of its remarkable feeding behaviors, which has recently been clearly recorded.

Instead of chasing prey in open flight, this bird waits in ambush and, when a group of bats passes by, it catches them mid-air with a precise strike of its beak.
