Rainbow Bee-Eater - Female and Young
The Rainbow bee-eater Merops ornatus is a brightly coloured small bird. It has long slender glossy black beak which is used for catching flying insects, such as bees. All bee-eaters are brightly coloured and all prey on flying insects. Males are identical to females except for two long central tail feathers where the female has very short ones. They are unlike the majority of birds in the way that they nest as they do not make nests in trees but underground where they excavate a burrow where the eggs are laid.
