The eggs development depends on how many eggs are laid. If there are more eggs, they remain warm and develop faster. For the first 10 or 11 days, they still receive help and care from their parents.
When they are adults they become extremely territorial creatures. In relation to other birds, they are not very common. They will be found in communities such as estuaries and along the coast in the winter, with different species of birds.
King Fishers lay around 3-6 eggs during November February every year from the age of 1. There eggs hatch after 18 days and the chicks will stay in the nest for up to 24 days.
The chicks then becomes independent after about 23-24 days and after being taught how to fly they no-longer need their parents help or protection.
The diet of a Kingfisher consists of mainly of fish, such as minnows and sticklebacks, but also aquatic and land insects, crustaceans and frogs. A very interesting fact about Kingfishers is that they eat much more than other birds in the same taxonomy. A family of Kingfishers can eat as many as one hundred fish a day.
