      These are so odd. What is that horn made of?

      Wikipedia states "This structure is unique among birds and is not derived from a feather but is a cornified structure that is loosely attached to the skull and grows continuously while often breaking at its tip"
      You can see that it is broken at the top on this picture.

      Why does it have it? Just a strange evolutionary side effect?
