Sangihe Dwarf-Kingfisher

Ceyx sangirensis

The Sangihe Dwarf-Kingfisher (Ceyx sangirensis) is a small, brightly colored bird found in the forests of the Sangihe and Talaud Islands in Indonesia. It is known for its striking plumage, with a combination of bright blue, orange, and white feathers. This kingfisher species is known for its elusive nature, often staying hidden within the dense vegetation of its forest habitat. It primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates, using its sharp beak to catch prey. Due to habitat loss and limited range, the Sangihe Dwarf-Kingfisher is considered vulnerable to extinction.
