Moluccan kingfisher

Ceyx dispar

The Moluccan kingfisher (Ceyx dispar) is a small, brightly colored bird found in the forests and mangroves of the Moluccan Islands in Indonesia. With its striking blue and orange plumage, it is a visually stunning species. This kingfisher is known for its distinctive call and its remarkable ability to dive from perches to catch small fish and aquatic invertebrates. The Moluccan kingfisher is highly territorial and forms monogamous pairs. Unfortunately, habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation and human activities pose significant threats to its population.
