These birds sound quite interesting, yet I'm not sure what they're like.

Are they the King of The Fishers? Huh

Here's a brilliant picture of one. They're amazing birds.
These birds are magnificent, I love the look of their bodies and they're always this brilliant blue colour. If you're lucky enough to spot one, I would definitely count it as a lucky day!
Hi

Oooh, very pretty bird. I had no idea they looked like that, but I have another question: How big are they? The one in that pic looks like a hummingbird.
Kingfishers are bigger than hummingbirds for sure. They swoop down and catch fish!
Kingfisher are medium sized birds I would say. But yes, to confirm, they're much bigger than hummingbirds.
For everyone's convenience this post will contain the direct picture preview to the kingfisher posted above. It makes it easier for viewing.
Kingfishers are okay, but I don't know if they rank up as one of my favorite birds.
Kingfishers can be identified by their large heads, short tails and sharp beaks. The usually have a crest and are brilliantly colored, with a diet primarily consisting of fish.
