Coraciiformes

The order Coraciiformes comprises diverse birds worldwide, including kingfishers, bee-eaters, rollers, and hornbills. These birds are known for their brightly colored plumage and unique hunting techniques, such as hovering over water to catch fish or using their bills to dig up insects. Despite their varied appearances and behaviors, all Coraciiformes share a distinctive zygodactyl foot structure, with two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward, which helps them grip branches and other surfaces with ease.
