Feeding Habits
Hook-billed Kingfisher predominantly consumes insects and frogs, often foraging by digging into the soil for prey, mirroring the foraging style of the shovel-billed kookaburra.
Habitat
The hook-billed Kingfisher is typically found in lowland primary and secondary rainforests where it favors dense canopies. Its habitat also encompasses gallery forests, scrub-forests, and regions with scattered trees, including older rubber and teak plantations. Adapted to human-altered landscapes, it may occupy partly cleared areas that maintain sufficient tree cover.
