Tanysiptera nympha, Red-breasted paradise kingfisher, is a brightly colored bird.
The emerald is a completely carnivorous kingfisher, and its hunting techniques are roughly the same as those of other species of hunting kingfishers, but it also has its own characteristics. Often hidden in the shade of the tree near the water to prey on fish and shrimp. His head hardly moves while he stands, and his tail wags from time to time. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food, digging through the soil with its mouth to prey on insects, including snails, beetles, grasshoppers, caterpillars, centipedes, earthworms, and small reptile lizards.
Both sexes work together to burrow into termite towers four feet above the ground. Size 15 cm x 13 cm. The female usually lays five eggs, and both raise the chicks together.
Listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ver 3.1:2008 Red List of Birds.
