Kingfisher: Death from Above

Introduction to Kingfishers

This video is an introduction to kingfishers, a family of birds found all over the world. The video describes their physical characteristics and diving abilities.

Characteristics of Kingfishers

  • Kingfishers have a long pointy beak, big head, small legs, and short tail.
  • They are known for their dives into water to catch prey.
  • Some species can hover in place before diving down at full speed.
  • They have strong neck muscles that stabilize their head while searching for fish.

Diving Abilities

  • Their beaks are shaped like needles and slide into the water with ease.
  • They have a third translucent eyelid called a nictitating membrane that protects their eyes from the water.
  • They hit larger prey from above first to stun it before swooping in for the kill.
  • Different species eat different types of food such as insects or fish.

Types of Kingfishers

  • There are three subfamilies: tree kingfishers, river kingfishers, and water kingfishers.
  • Sizes vary greatly among species, with some being only 10 cm long while others can reach up to 45 cm in length.
  • Most species nest in holes usually in tunnels in the ground or arboreal termite nests.
  • Many species are monogamous and territorial while some exhibit cooperative breeding.
