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.

African Dwarf-kingfisher

The African Dwarf-kingfisher is one of the world's smallest kingfishers at just 10g, found in West and Central African rainforests. It hunts insects with typical kingfisher precision.
