The red-bearded
bee-eater is a large species of bee-eater found in the Indo-Malayan sub region of South-east Asia. This species is found in openings in patches of dense
forest. They hunt alone or in pairs,
rather than in flocks, and sit motionless for long periods before pursuing
their prey. Like other bee-eaters, they nest in burrows tunnelled into the side
of sandy banks, but do not form colonies. Source
