Are they difficult to breed? A few places have had them in the past, but there's none around now

 

3 Black Hornbill chicks have hatched this year:

Birdworld, Farnham on Instagram: "After a long, anticipated wait, our Black Hornbill family has emerged from their nest with three beautiful triplet fledglings. We’ll be bringing you some more heart-warming content over the next couple of days.❤️ At the beginning of June, the female sealed herself inside the nestbox, leaving only a small hole for her mate to pass in food. For the Birdworld team, this was a highly anticipated event met with great excitement when the female finally broke the seal and emerged at last, followed by her triplet fledglings. One or two chicks is normal for these special birds, so when three triplets popped out, looking absolutely perfect, the team was ecstatic. Take a look at the moment when the first chick announced itself to the world before embarking on its first wobbly flight!"
