The Dwarf Kingfisher is a very beautiful bird. We find this bird when we are paddling inside the mangroves. They like very much to stay in these places. Often, we also find them at the road side, when they fly along, when they say: "Keeeu, keeeu, keeeu." This bird is calling their own name. The beaks of these guys are long beaks. Their heads are blue. Their wings are blue, but their throat is white, and also their breast. All the time they fly in pairs. Only if one hatches out eggs, the other one flies by itself.
