I saw this bird in a very thick forest and it was kind of sick and tired. So I caught it, and I want to rear it. But my dad is saying I should get rid of it.

Pls who knows the name of the bird?
And I want to know maybe it is safe for me to rear it

Its a hornbill..pls take more pics from different angles so i can tell you exactly what type of hornbill. As you tie am so e go fit die. Find a cage for it

edit.
Ok seen the pics..i would say this is a Black and White Tailed Hornbill.Nigerian subspecies (Tockus fasciatus .semifasciatus) It could be a pet because it is gregarious, tame and vocal. Abeg find a cage and line it with leaves and grass..then go and google what it eats. You for leave am if this is how you want to keep it

It can take care of itself, restricting it is stressing it more.

If you have chicken cage around

Lose the rope and put it in one

First step to rehoming is making it feel at ease

Put water
Adequate lightening is also very important
So it can see clearly in it's new habitat


Food: beetle , grasshopper, small lizards , Frog,

Fruits and seeds

So you have a head start

Ask George of the jungle

This is a great catch, but if you know you can't take care of it, theres no need to start keeping it as pet.
