Syma torotoro

Syma torotoro, Yellow-billed Kingfisher, has three subspecies (1.Syma torotoro torotoro is found in New Guinea, Papua and Aru Islands). 2.Syma torotoro ochracea is found on the island of Dontelcastor and the Yorke Peninsula. 3.Syma torotoro flavirostris is found in Australia.) .

Yellow-billed jadeite usually hunts alone or in pairs. Like most game kingfishers, they are completely carnivorous. Often searching for prey in leaves or dirt. The main diet is invertebrates such as crickets, spiders, scorpions, and snails. It also eats small vertebrates such as small fish, small snakes and lizards.

The breeding season is usually between November and January in Queensland, September and October in New Guinea, Papua New Guinea (and possibly March and August). The nest is built on the earth cliff or on the embankment of the river, and the nest is made by tunnelling holes dug with the mouth. The depth is 9 cm and 12 cm, and the width is 9.5 cm. These caves are generally bare of bedding. The female lays three or four eggs directly on the nest ground. Some also drill holes for nests in the trunks of palm or other trees, up to 3 meters above the ground.
