Zazu and her gorgeous eyelashes need your vote!

The AZA African Hornbill SAFE is hosting the first-ever “Battle of the Hornbills” to raise funds to help African hornbill conservation researchers attend the International Hornbill Conference in Goa, India, in February 2027. Sixteen African hornbills from zoos around the world will compete tournament-style to be crowned Hornbill of the Year and Zoo Atlanta’s very own Zazu, AKA “The Stabbing Queen,” is in the running! You can vote for Zazu by clicking the Battle of the Hornbills link in our bio and donating $5 per vote. Help us send Zazu to the top! Proceeds will benefit AZA African Hornbill SAFE. Voting ends Monday, September 14, at 11:59 p.m., so vote now! (Photo: Claire S.)
