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.
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.
