Philippine Hornbill
Penelopides panini
The Philippine hornbill is not generally known as a "record-holder" in terms of size, speed or other extreme characteristics. What is particularly worth highlighting is its unique nesting behaviour (during which females are "walled in" inside the nest) — one of the most remarkable examples of parental care in the bird world. This trait is shared with other hornbill species and is especially important in the conservation context, as habitat loss severely limits the availability of suitable nesting sites.

Birthday Celebration
You can celebrate a birthday at ZOO Ljubljana. During the celebration we experience smaller domesticated animals, with a focus on insects. We also visit the more charismatic larger animals in their enclosures and learn many interesting things about them. The celebrations are educational and fun, suitable for children and adults alike. We provide food, drink and an educational and entertaining programme.
