A bull. The female is called a cow.

And why is this in birds?

Hippopotamuses (hippopotami is also accepted as a plural form by the OED), also sometimes called hippos, are gregarious, living in groups of up to 40 animals; such a group is called a pod, herd, school, or bloat. A male hippopotamus is known as a bull, a female as a cow, and a baby as a calf. A hippo's lifespan is typically 40 to 50 years. Female hippos reach sexual maturity at 5 to 6 years and have a gestation period of 8 months. Donna the Hippo, 55, is the oldest known hippo in captivity. She lives at the Mesker Park Zoo in Evansville, Indiana.

Hippos average 3.5 meters (11 ft) long, 1.5 meters (5 ft) tall at the shoulder, and weigh from 1,500 to 3,200 kilogr, including pigs. While the whale and hippo are each other's closest living relatives, their lineages split very soon after their divergence from the rest of the even-toed ungulates.

from wikipedia. Always a chance it may be wrong.
