Description
The sexes are alike in the cinnamon-chested bee-eater. They have bright green heads, upper parts, and tails; their chins and throats are yellow and outlined in black, with a white extension to the side; their breasts are cinnamon-brown, darkening towards the belly. When perched, their stance is upright with the tail pointing downward. The tail is blackish with an orange base and white tip when seen from the front, while from the back it is mainly green, with black edges visible when it is flared. This bird can be distinguished from the somewhat similar little bee-eater by their larger size, darker colouring, white cheek patches, and the upland habitat where they are found.

Feeding Habits
Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater's diet largely comprises honeybees, particularly Apis mellifera, as well as other insects including hymenopterans, butterflies, and dragonflies. Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater typically perches on trees or wires and hunts by swooping on prey mid-flight before returning to the perch to subdue it.
Habitat
The cinnamon-chested Bee-eater predominantly resides in areas with wooded hillsides, forest edges, and clearings lush with bracken and elephant grass. Additionally, cinnamon-chested Bee-eater is often found in gardens and plantations that are proximate to humid forests. These birds prefer habitats that are close to open, sunny spaces for nesting colonies.
