Common Kingfisher

 Common Kingfisher 

Size : 18 cm

Kabaro Kalkalio is skilled in the art of flying, but not as flamboyant as his other cousins, but has the same attractive flight as him and one of the smallest and brightest of our Kalkalis is Kalkalio.  Places grown in the water, such as a tree hanging above the water or a branch of a plant or a cliff, are considered to be the seats of these small cuckoos.  Sitting there looking up and down in the water.  Looks like a fish near the surface or a trance jumps off my surface and catches it in the beak

Arrive at the place.  Go there and swallow the fish left and right.  Like the Kabra Kalkaliya, it is able to stand in the air at a height of 10-15 feet and jump into the water upside down to catch fish.

The beak is small in appearance, but the beak is relatively long, pointed and dark in color, and the tail is short.  Back, neck and tail shiny blue.  In the sun it appears greenish brown, petal brown.  Black and white stripes above the head, a brown stripe from the beak down the eye to the ode, and a white patch at the end.  A black spot in front of the eye, a mustache shining blue stripe over the face.  Beard and throat white.  Legs short and orange in color.  No ૨ - same as female.

The sparkling color of the small kalkalia cannot be realized from the description alone.  For that one should look at it in the sunlight.

Kingfishers are a group of small to medium-sized brightly colored feathers of the Coraciformes class.  They have a universal distribution, with most species found in the Old World and Australia.  The group is considered either as a single family Alcidinidae or in the subclass Alcidiens which includes three families, Alcidinidi (river kingfisher), Halcyonidi (vertebrate kingfisher) and Cerlidi aquatic kingfisher).  There are about 90 species of kingfishers.  All have large heads, long, sharp, pointed beaks, short legs and stubby tails.  Most species have shiny feathers with little difference between different sexes.  Most species are tropical in distribution and a moderately large number are found only in forests.  They eat a wide range of prey and fish, which are usually caught by swooping from a high place.  Like other members of their class, they nest in empty spaces, usually in tunnels dug into the edges of natural or artificial land on the ground.  Some species, mainly insular forms, are reported to be threatened with extinction.
