Kingfisher: birds stuck in trees (11 photos)

So, the first quality of the kingfisher is unpretentiousness and readiness for long business trips. Almost all of Eurasia and North Africa are designated as comfortable regions - this sounds very convincing.





Boss, this is not what you thought! Read the summary to the end!

Well, well, there is also a note here: “relocation from cold regions in winter is required, no ice fishing skills.”



When your work is a work of art!

Otherwise, the kingfisher shows his professionalism. Skills include an accurate eye, the ability to dive 30 centimeters deep into water at a speed of 30 km/h, waterproof plumage and lightning-fast reflexes. “I don’t see the point in waiting in ambush for hours, it’s better to act at every opportunity!”





To protect its eyes while diving, the kingfisher has a special membrane that works like swimming goggles.

It sounds self-confident, but the applicant confirms his words with the results: minnows, sticklebacks, small roaches and trout up to 12.5 centimeters are caught in his catch. Impressive, especially for a bird 16cm long. The kingfisher claims that the matter is in a special tool - a long powerful beak, thanks to which the caught fish can no longer escape.



Him: Can I take a bite? Also he:

Oh, there's another note: “I respect individuality and self-expression. I won’t wear a formal suit!” Well, for the sake of such a specialist, you can tolerate flashy orange and blue colors if they don’t interfere with your work.



And you continue to wear boring black and white!

And here are some more negative features. “No teamwork,” declares the kingfisher. “I’m a lone wolf and I won’t share my trophies with anyone!” Judging by the review from his previous work, the feathered man’s relationship with his colleagues in the shop really did not work out: constant conflicts at the boundaries of plots and seclusion in the bushes away from prying eyes. In addition, the applicant leaves undigested fish remains right at the workplace! Negligence is a disorder.



Dispute between marketing and accounting departments. Oh, this wild office nature!

HM interesting. Then the kingfisher writes that he is a family bird. On the one hand, this means that he really needs the vacancy. We studied social networks and realized that every year the kingfisher gives birth to from two to ten babies. He and his wife have been working on them for almost two months.



Kingfishers nurse their chicks in pairs. To feed the little troglodytes, the parents hunt with both beaks!

And his home is literally a hole. Yes, with a lake or river view. But for the sake of his family, he will definitely work tirelessly to expand his living space to at least a two-room apartment!



Nothing, kids, but not a mortgage!

But there is also a minus - the kingfisher itself does not click its beak either! Reports that his metabolism is very fast. To remain effective, it needs to eat up to 60% of its own body weight. How many lunch breaks will he need?!



— Are you sure that you can eat a 1.5 kg set of sushi alone? - Yes.

But wait, it doesn't say anything about getting stuck in trees! Will the kingfisher leave this without explanation? No, here's a postscript. I read: “The accusations of close relations with trees are false! I actually have binocular vision - I can see in front of me perfectly! And excellent maneuverability - I grab fish on the fly. Do you really think that flying around an obstacle is a problem for me?

All these videos with me are nothing more than a game of rescuers on the part of people. I was caught, unceremoniously stuck into a tree and rescued on camera! I protest!”



Oh no, this poor guy could get stuck in a tree any second. Turn off the camera for now.



Turn it back on. Well, like we said, he's stuck. Well, it’s okay, now we’ll help him and they’ll give us a bunch of likes!
