Description
The silvery-cheeked hornbill (Bycanistes brevis) is a large species of hornbill found in Africa.

In Zimbabwe it is threatened by habitat destruction and its presence in South Africa is marginal, but it remains locally fairly common, especially in the northern and central parts of its range.1
