White+fronted+bee+eaters+(birds)

The white-fronted bee-eater bird is a small bird found in sub-equatorial Africa and southern tropical Africa. They have a white forehead and a black mask. Their tails are square shaped and they have a bright red throat with green and brown feathers. The white-fronted bee-eater bird has a loud squeak to call to its clan. These birds live in clans which also means that they are co-operative breeders. This means that there has to be someone or another animal to help care for their young when it's born. White-fronted bee-eaters have one of the most complex family groupings. Their family can have as few as seven members and as many as seventeen members. They nest in small colonies and they dig holes in cliffs or banks on the earth. They can also live in wooded savannas, grasslands, and open scrubs.

These birds eat mostly bees but that depends on what season it is. They can also eat other flying insects. The male white-fronted bee-eater weighs about 0.1-1.3 ounces, and the females weigh about 1.1-1.2 oz. They are both the same length which is 8.5-9.5 inches. But the do have different wing lengths. For the male bird their wings are about 4.4-4.7 inches and the females wings are around 4.3-4.8 inches wide. Some interesting facts about the White fronted bee eating birds are that they can have up to 300 meals per day, they have three toes, and they don't migrate. These birds are very intelligent and they always remember who was or is with them and where they are. This animal is very interesting, and I hope I get to see one in South Africa.
