Abstract

Rhyticeros cassidix is a group of birds that are easily recognized, because it has a characteristic in the form of a large beak with an additional structure at the top called balung (casque). Rhyticeros cassidix classified as endangered to critical spesies. This happens because of pressure on the habitat of these animals, including in the form of land use change which results in the loss of vegetation that feeds them. The aims of this study to describe the feed of Rhyticeros cassidix in the landscape area of Makarti Jaya, Pohuwato. The roaming method is used in this study. There are four stations explored with the distance at each station being 400 meters. The four stations are located in the landscape area of Makari Jaya Village, Pohuwato, Gorontalo. Identify the type of Rhyticeros cassidix feed found by recording the findings of Sulawesi julang feed in each exploration area. The results showed that there were 8 types of feed found, namely, Rao Tree (Drancontomelon dao), Ylang Ylang Flower (Cananga odorata), Palapi Tree (Heritiera javanica), Banyan (Ficus Benjamina), Woka (Livistona altissima), Nantu (Palaquium quercifolium), Matoa (Pometia pinnata), Bugis Wood (Koordersiodendrom pinnatum). The feed consumed by Rhyticeros cassidix varies greatly depending on the season and the availability of feed sources in the Makarti Jaya Landscape area by having good adaptation in finding and choosing feed that suits their nutritional needs.
