A Kingfisher is a bird. Kingfishers belong to three families. These three families are closely related to each other. The three families are Alcedinidae (which is a family of river kingfishers), Halyconidae (which is a family of tree kingfishers) and Cerylidae (which is a family of water kingfishers or belted kingfishers). There are about 90 species of kingfishers. They all have big heads, long pointed bills, short legs and stubby tails. They are found all over the world. They are non-passerine birds. Kingfishers usually have a crest and are brightly-coloured birds and predominantly feed on fish.
Kingfishers belong to the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Chordata, the class Aves, the order Coraciiformes and the sub-order Alcedines. Kingfishers live in both woodland habitats and wetland habitats. The laughing kookaburra measures about 45 centimetres. It is the largest species of kingfisher in the world and lives in the woodlands. The European kingfisher is scientifically known as Alcedo atthis. It is always found near bodies of fresh water.
