Kingfishers start to fly by developing their flight muscles and coordination during their early growth stages. As they mature, they practice flapping their wings while perched, gradually gaining strength and confidence. Once they are ready, they take their first flights, often leaping from their nesting sites to explore their surroundings and hunt for food. This initial flight is typically short, but it helps them build the skills necessary for longer, more sustained flights.
