These magnificent creatures live near water bodies around the world, except for the really cold places like the Arctic and Antarctic. Their vibrant colors, which can range from blue and green to orange and red, make them easy to spot against the green of the trees or the blue of the water. Kingfishers are quite small, about the size of a sparrow, but they are known for their large heads and long, sharp beaks.  \nSo, what do these fascinating birds eat? Well, as their name suggests, they are excellent fishers and their diet mainly consists of fish, but they also eat a variety of other creatures like insects, frogs, and even small birds. They have an interesting way of hunting, they perch on a branch near the water, keeping their eyes peeled for their prey, and when they spot one, they dive into the water with a big splash! Kingfishers have a special transparent third eyelid that protects their eyes when they dive into the water-isn't that cool?  \nLet's talk about their life cycle and their relationship with other animals and humans. Kingfishers lay their eggs in burrows, which they dig in riverbanks and usually have a life span of about 15 years. While they don't have many natural enemies, sometimes larger birds or animals might try to harm them, but their sharp beaks and quick flight help protect them. Humans enjoy watching Kingfishers because they are so pretty and interesting but it's important to remember that we need to respect their habitats and not disturb them.  \nKingfisher  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the size of a Kingfisher?\u003Cbr>A.
