A most beautiful relationship of trust is shared between a pregnant mother hornbill and a father hornbill. They look for a tall tree with a hole to enter where the mother seals herself in with the help of the father except a small enough gap for her beak. There for many weeks she stays in while he gets her food - even on delivering her baby she is inside for a while while the father feeds them. If the male for any reason doesn't return, the mother and the baby will perish inside as they are unable to open the seal from within!

A beautiful glimpse into Mother Nature and her myriad wonders through the language of #bharatanatyam.
