About These Birds

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.

Black Bee-eater

The Black Bee-eater is a vividly colored bird of West and Central African rainforests, distinguished by its deep black plumage relieved by a brilliant scarlet throat and turquoise-blue rump and tail. It inhabits the canopy and edges of lowland tropical forests from Sierra Leone east to Uganda. Like other bee-eaters, it sallies from exposed perches to capture bees, wasps, and other flying insects in midair.
