This print of a Rufous-Necked Hornbill in Bhutan captures the extraordinary dedication that defines parenthood across the natural world. With fruit clutched in its bill, this father is moments away from delivering sustenance to his mate, sealed inside a tree cavity with their chick. For months, the female remains entombed, relying entirely on her partner's tireless devotion to survive. To witness this ritual is to recognize the profound sacrifices parents make for their young. Captured in the foothills of the Himalayas, this image is a celebration of commitment, partnership, and the selfless acts that sustain family bonds in nature.
