Kingfisher has a long, sharp and thick mouth, a big head, a short tail and short feet. It is a medium-sized waterside bird, which often appears near the water.

Low branches and reeds often rest straight by the water, often rest on rocks, and wait for opportunities to prey on fish and shrimp. , so it is also called fish tiger, fish dog. Moreover, the kingfisher can maintain excellent eyesight after diving into the water, because its eyes can quickly adjust the visual angle contrast caused by the light in the water after entering the water.

Eggs are laid directly on the nest. Each nest lays 6-7 eggs. The egg is pure white, bright and slightly spotted, with a size of about 28 mm× 18 mm, with 1 ~ 2 nests every year; The incubation period is about 2 1 day. Both males and females hatch eggs, but only females feed their chicks. Kingfisher's feathers are beautiful, and the feathers on its head can be used as decorations.
