Bee-eater

Bee-eaters are birds that appear in The Lion King franchise.
== Information ==
The African green bee-eater is green in color with a distinct yellow-green throat, which contrasts from the blue throats of its subspecies. In more contrast from its subspecies, it also has a different voice.
African green bee-eaters are distributed in semiarid regions of Africa, spanning from Ethopia to Senegal. Despite changes in agriculture and irrigation, it has adapted to its environment and has expanded its population, causing it to not be considered under threat.
The blue-throated bee-eater is twenty-one centimeters in height with nine centimeter tail streamers. The average weight of a specimen is thirty-four to forty-one grams. Adults have bright plumage with a red nape and crown, dark green wings, a blue tail, a light green breast, a white belly, and a white throat. Juveniles will develop these colors later and are primarily green with a dark green head and wings, as well as a light green breast. Both young bee-eaters and adults have black eye patches and eyes either red or brown.
Blue-throated bee-eaters have various calls used for multiple purposes, such as chatting and feeding. They use a form of long-distance call known as "longcalls," known for their volume and intensity. In Asia, they are widely distributed from China to Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand, and even as far as Borneo and Java. They encompass habitats ranging from farms, gardens, riversides, and sandy areas to forest canopies and saltwater mangrove forests. They dig burrows and can live in colonies of up to two-hundred individuals. The blue-throated bee-eater is known for siblicide; chicks will kill fellow chicks to increase brood size, though this does not alter the lifespan of a chick. They mostly consume insects, like dragonflies and wasps, and maintain fair relations with humans, being classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
