About These Birds
Gürtelfischer
Der Gürtelfischer ist insofern ungewöhnlich, als das Weibchen bunter gefärbt ist als das Männchen und ein zusätzliches rostrotes Brustband trägt. Diese lauten Vögel kündigen ihr Revier mit einem markanten, ratternden Ruf an. Mit ihren kräftigen Schnäbeln graben sie bis zu 2,4 Meter tiefe Bruthöhlen in Flussufer.
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.
