5. Kingfisher. Widespread. Moves only with the help of wings, as the legs are short and are not intended for long-term displacement. The plumage of a kingfisher near dim; its brightness is achieved due to the refraction of light feathers. Kingfishers love of solitude, to see them - a rarity. Voice - intermittent squeak "tiip-tiip-tiip." (Thomas Will)
