About These Birds
Black-backed Dwarf-kingfisher
The Black-backed Dwarf-kingfisher is a near-threatened, jewel-like tiny kingfisher of the forest floor in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. It has violet-blue upperparts, a bright orange-rufous head and underparts, and a red bill. It inhabits the dark forest interior near streams, hunting small fish, insects, and amphibians.

The African Pygmy-kingfisher is a jewel-like bird of the Alcedinidae family, with a wingspan of only about 10 cm and a weight of 12–13 g. Found in forests and wooded areas across sub-Saharan Africa, it often hunts insects on the forest floor rather than fish.
