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-headed Paradise-kingfisher
The Black-headed Paradise-kingfisher is a spectacularly ornate kingfisher with a black head, vivid turquoise-blue upperparts, white underparts, and extraordinarily long white tail streamers. It inhabits lowland and hill rainforests of the Bismarck Archipelago, including New Britain and Manus, in Papua New Guinea. It hunts insects, lizards, and earthworms in the forest understory, often diving to the ground to capture prey.
