- Todirhamphus lazuli
Identification
This species is a brightly coloured and very vocal bird, which often perches where it can easily be seen.
Distribution
The Lazuli Kingfisher Halcyon lazuli has only been recorded on three Indonesian islands: Seram, Ambon and Haruku, with a total area of c.18.500 km2.
Taxonomy
Habitat
Agricultural land, rather open areas near the forest edge, secondary forest/scrub, recently logged (but still fairly intact) forest, and the edges of very disturbed logged rainforest
Behaviour
The few breeding records indicate a breeding season from July–December and a preference for arboreal termite nests as nest sites.
