A female locked inside a tree trunk, the arrow points at the tiny opening where the male can deliver food

Attenborough claims that it would be easy for the hornbills to find a hole in any of those ancient trees yet they found one that had been rigged with a camera! Did they insert a camera inside every one of the holes in all the neighbouring trees?
