About These Birds
Black-headed Bee-eater
The Black-headed Bee-eater is a large, striking bee-eater with a black head, a brilliant green back, and vivid red-chestnut underparts. It inhabits the forest-savanna transition zone and forest clearings in west-central Africa, particularly Cameroon, Gabon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Like other bee-eaters, it hunts bees, wasps, and other flying insects, catching them in aerial sallies from exposed perches.
Arabian Green Bee-eater
The Arabian Green Bee-eater is a slender, colorful bee-eater from the Arabian Peninsula and adjacent regions, weighing about 17.5 grams with a wingspan near 18 cm. It sports vivid green plumage with a blue forehead and a distinctive black eye-stripe, catching bees and other flying insects with aerial sallies from exposed perches. It nests colonially in sandy banks and flat ground burrows.
