Man-made Home

As part of the The Singapore Hornbill Project, man-made hornbill nesting boxes were set up around Pulau Ubin and some even set up on mainland Singapore. It is a collaboration between National Parks Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, the National University of Singapore, and Wildlife Reserves Singapore.These 'intelligent nests' are armed with cameras, sensors and scales., These enable researchers to monitor the Oriental Pied Hornbill as it is nesting.
