The Order Coraciiformes consists of medium-sized birds including kingfishers, rollers, bee-eaters, and motmots. These birds are often brightly colored and have strong, pointed bills adapted for catching insects, small vertebrates, or fish. Most species are arboreal or perch-hunting, relying on keen eyesight to spot prey from a distance. They typically have strong feet and short legs, and many exhibit striking aerial displays or complex nesting behaviors, such as burrowing into riverbanks or termite mounds. Found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, Coraciiformes play important roles in controlling insect populations and contributing to their ecosystems’ biodiversity.
