It is actually a bird

First Answer- A kingfisher is a small and brightly coloured bird.

Second Answer- Kingfishers are a suborder of birds. They are small to medium in size, and are often brightly colored. All of them have large heads, sharp beaks, short legs, and stubby tails. They eat a variety of bugs, small reptiles, worms, plants, fish, and even the nestlings of other birds. Most species are found in the Old World.

Kingfishers like all birds do not have teeth.

there are a number of predators who will prey upon a Kingfisher but these will generally be opportunistic predators rather than predators trying to find a particular prey.

examples of these may be other birds such as hawks and falcons or at might there will be predators such as tree snakes or pythons.

In the nest situations you will have monitors, goanna's, rats snakes etc who will eat the young, eggs or even the sitting parent bird.

Actually the kingfishers actual colour is a murky brown color. If you were to place the iridescent blue feather of the kingfisher into the shade, the colour changes to this brown colour. This is because when the kingfishers feathers are hit by the white light from the sun, the feathers only absorb the only absorb the blue frequency (wavelength) of light. As a result when the light reaches your eyes, the eyes register that the blue wavelength of light is missing, so we see the feathers as blue in the sun.

The hawk and kingfisher are different species of birds. The hawk (many sub-species) hunt other birds and small animals (mice, voles, etc), while a kingfisher eats small fish, frogs, and other aquatic creatures - caught by the kingfisher diving beneath the water.

Kingfisher builds its nest in banks near the water.

A kingfisher does not eat seeds. They eat fish, crustaceans, worms, frogs, molluscs, reptiles, insects and spiders. They have also been known to eat other birds and small mammals.

Kingfishers are carnivorous as, depending on the species, they feed on fish, small mammals and small reptiles.
