The Pied Kingfisher is an extraordinary bird that's a true master of fishing.
It's like the superhero of the bird world with its black and white suit, which makes it look like it's wearing a tuxedo.
These birds are often seen near water bodies, and they love to dive in and catch their meals.
What's really cool about Pied Kingfishers is that they can hover in the air, like a helicopter! They stay perfectly still, their wings flapping rapidly, while they search for fish below.
When they spot a fish, they dive like a bullet into the water, emerging with their tasty prize.
It's like a fantastic aerial show! These birds are quite sociable and are often seen in pairs.
They're not very noisy, but they make a soft and high-pitched "kee-kee-kee" sound.
If you ever see a black and white bird hovering over the water, you've spotted the Pied Kingfisher, the stylish angler of the bird world, always ready for a thrilling dive.
Medium-sized kingfisher characterized by its black and white plumage and distinctive crest.
Found near freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands.
Hunts by hovering over water before diving to catch fish with its powerful bill.
Known for its harsh, chattering call often heard near waterways.
