Kingfishers are a family of small to medium-sized, brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes.
They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania.
All kingfishers have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails, and most species have bright plumage with only small differences between the sexes.
While kingfishers are usually thought to live near rivers and eat fish, many species live away from water and eat small invertebrates.
