Its name is Macrocephalon maleo, usually known as the Maleo Bird or Maleo Senkawor. The maleo bird is endemic of Sulawesi Island. However, they can also be found in Maluku.
Maleo birds are predominantly black in color with yellow to brown eyes, orange beak and white on their underside. Male and Female birds are similar in color. It's just that female birds are smaller and darker.
Maleo do not incubate their eggs. They bury the eggs in the sand that has natural geothermal heat. One of the reasons they do so is probably because the size of the egg is much larger than the size of their body. One maleo egg is estimated to be the same size as 5 chicken eggs. Due to the size of the egg, a female sometimes passes out when laying.
Maleo belong to protected birds, but the population are endangered to the continuous loss of habitat, illegal logging and the opening of new land for settlement. In addition, they are also threatened by the poaching done by the local people, the natural predators such as lizard and snakes, floods, or forest and bush fires.
