Kingfisher

Kingfishers were a variety of bird that could be found in the Realms.
==Description==
Kingfishers had short legs, crested heads, and long pointed beaks. Their feathers were largely deep blue or bluish gray in color, with white crests.
==Behavior==
Kingfishers had a basic, animal level of intellect and were a relatively harmless species.
==Biology==
These creatures were capable of lifting creatures, but nothing above, into the air.
===Reproduction===
Kingfishers typically laid around two to eight eggs per year.
==Combat==
Like many species of bird, kingfishers attacked by means of their beaks and sharp talons.
==Ecology==
These birds primarily lived in flocks.
===Diet===
Kingfishers were a carnivorous species of bird. They preyed upon fish and small mammals, such as rabbits. They would spear the former with their beaks.
===Habitats===
Kingfishers could be found in the forests, plains, or mountains of regions with a tropical, subtropical, or temperate climate. Their habitats ranged over large areas due to their migratory nature.
On Faerûn they could be found in Marsh of Tun in Cormyr. Beyond Faerûn, they could be found in the tropical forests of Kara-Tur.
Beyond the planet of Toril, kingfishers could be found on Krynn. And beyond the Prime Material, kingfishers could be found alongside many other predatory birds as part of the hunting parties of Remnis.
===Relationships===
Kingfishers were a favored animal of the deity Aerdrie Faenya.
==Trivia==
