Description
Gambia Collection 2015 Natural Treasures
These are birds of the order Coraciiformes comprising the bee-eaters, specialized in eating flying insects, especially bees. Most species are found in Africa but they also exist in southern Europe, Madagascar, Australia and New Guinea. They are characterized by their richly colored plumages, slender bodies and usually tails with long central feathers. All are colorful and have down-curved bills and pointed wings, which give them the appearance of swallows when seen from a distance.
