Malachite Kingfisher - 10 Facts About a Colorful African Bird

The malachite kingfisher (Corythornis cristatus) is a small wetland kingfisher with black banding and pale blue or greenish-blue on its forehead. It has bright metallic blue upper parts, a short crest of black and blue feathers on its head, rufous face, cheeks, and underparts, and white patches on its throat and rear neck sides. The bill is black in young birds and reddish-orange in adults, and the legs are bright red. Juveniles are a duller version of the adult.#reels2024 #reelsfbpage #reelsofi
