Features:Completely carnivorous, young birds feed primarily on insects, including beetles, ants, and insects (the latter may reach up to 12 cm).
Social habits are not known: the blue-winged Kookaburra, for example, uses a single or small group of five birds. The cape Kookaburra, like most other game kingfishers, hunts at a height of 1 to 4 meters. It hardly moves, sometimes only moving the head and tail. When it spots prey, it swoops down. Experts believe that this kingfisher has the same complex social behavior as the Australian Kookaburra, and also has nesting "helpers" (in avian society, individuals other than the parent bird help build the nest, known as "helpers"). In addition, it is often mixed with the call of the blue-winged Kookaburra, the call is very similar, making a series of "kourk" guttural sounds.
