About These Birds
African Pygmy-kingfisher
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.
Biak Paradise-kingfisher
The Biak Paradise-kingfisher is a near-threatened, spectacularly plumaged kingfisher endemic to Biak Island in West Papua. It has elongated white tail streamers, turquoise-blue and chestnut plumage, and a bright red bill. It inhabits lowland rainforest and is highly dependent on undisturbed forest for nesting and foraging on earthworms and insects.
