Kingfishers and their relatives (Coraciiformes) are a gathering of generally flesh eating fledglings that incorporates kingfishers, flavors, rollers, bea-eaters, motmots, hoopies and hornbills. The species that have a place with this gathering fluctuate enormously in size. On the little end of the scale are the West Indian beverages that weigh as meager as one-quarter ounce.On the overwhelming end of the scale are the bulky hornbills of southeast Asia, whose wingspan can achieve 5 feet.Some individuals from this gathering are single winged creatures while others frame huge provinces. Hornbills are single seekers that guard their domain. Honey bee eaters, then again, are gregarious and settle in thick gatherings. They in this way appreciate the security from predators that substantial gatherings offer, with such a large number of eyes vigilant for danger.Most kingfishers and their relatives utilize a chasing procedure alluded to as "spot-and swoop" and which comprises of the fledgling siting on a most loved roost holding up to detect their prey. At the point when prey falters into extent, the fledgling swoops down to catch their quarry and afterward comes back to the roost for the murder. They beat the prey against the branch to cripple it before eating it or coming back to the home to sustain their young.

Most have adjusted wings except for honey bee eaters whose wings are pointed. Their directed wings empower them toward move mid-air with incredible nimbleness, an expertise that helps them to catch their flying bug prey. Numerous species are splendidly shaded and all have feet with three forward-guiding toes and one retrogressive directing toe.Kingfishers and their relatives settle in tree openings or delve burrows into banks of earth, for example, those that line the edges of streams. Hornbills show the novel conduct of fixing the female and eggs in the depression of a tree, utilizing mud to mortar the opening almost close. A little opening is left to empower the male to pass nourishment to the female and youthful. Kingfishers and their relatives lay upwards of 10 eggs when they breed and when their young seal they are visually impaired and featherless.
