@birds.wildlife.nature: Should I eat this bug myself, or give it to my mate? That is the question! The Rufous-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher (Ceyx rufidorsa) is a small, vibrantly colored bird belonging to the Alcedinidae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it inhabits lowland forests, mangroves, and riverine areas. This species is renowned for its striking plumage, featuring a bright rufous-orange back, a deep blue crown, and a contrasting white throat and underparts. Despite its vivid appearance, it is often elusive and difficult to spot due to its small size and preference for dense foliage. The Rufous-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher primarily feeds on insects, small fish, and crustaceans, which it catches with remarkable precision. Although not currently considered threatened, habitat loss poses a potential risk to its population. Its enchanting beauty and secretive nature make it a prized sighting for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. #kingfisher #DidYouKnow #birds
