The Abyssinian ground hornbill or northern ground hornbill (Bucorvus abyssinicus) is an African bird, found north of the equator, and is one of two species of ground hornbill. Males sport blue and red colouration on their throats and blue around their eyes, while females only have blue on their eyes and throat. Abyssinian ground hornbills prefer to run if threatened but will fly to catch prey or defend territory.
