Swahili:: DETEPWANI.
English:: Pied Kingfisher.
Scientific:: Ceryle rudis.
Order: Coraciiformes (Ndege k**a Kurea).
Family: Alcedinidae (Ndege walio na mnasaba na Vizimiadagaa).
Gender:: Female (K**e).

Detepwani Female have a single black band across the breast. The primary difference between male and female Detepwani is in their breast bands.
Detepwani feeds mainly on fish, although it will take crustaceans and large aquatic insects such as dragonfly larvae. It usually hunts by hovering over the water to detect prey, before diving vertically bill-first to capture fish. When not foraging, it has a straight rapid flight and have been observed flying at speeds approaching 50 km/h and It can consume prey without returning to a perch, often manipulating the subject with its bill and swallowing in flight, and so can hunt over large water bodies or in estuaries that lack perches required by other kingfisher.

Order: Coraciiformes (Ndege k**a Kurea).
Family: Alcedinidae (Ndege walio na mnasaba na Vizimiadagaa).

Detepwani is a species of water kingfisher widely distributed across Kenya.
Detepwani is black and white plumage and crest, as well as its habit of hovering over clear lakes and rivers before diving for fish, make it distinctive.
Males have a double band across the breast. The primary difference between male and female Detepwani is in their breast bands.
They are usually found in pairs or small family groups. When perched, they often bob their head and flick up their tail.
Its nest is a hole excavated in a vertical mud bank about five feet above water. The nest tunnel is four to five feet deep and ends in a chamber.
Several birds may nest in the same vicinity. The usual clutch is three to six white eggs.
Detepwani sometimes reproduces cooperatively, with young non-breeding birds from an earlier brood assisting parents or even unrelated older birds.

Swahili:: KWEZI MARIDADI.
English:: Superb Stalling or Spreo Superbus.
Scientific::Lamprotornis Superbus.
Gender: Male.
Order:Passeriformes.
Family:; Sturnidae.
Genus:Lamprotornis.
Species:L.Superbus.

Kwezi Maridadi superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) is a member of the starling family of birds. It was formerly known as Spreo superbus.
They are long-lived birds that can live over 15 years in captivity.
This species is 18 to 19 cm (7.1 to 7.5 in) in height.
These small short-tailed starlings have a long narrow bill, robust bodies, strong feet and a distinctive plumage pattern.
Their spectacular iridescent plumage is due to the arrangement of melanin granules within the feathers, resulting in structural blues and greens, rather than colors derived from pigments.
The appearance of the kwenzi Maridadi is very similar to the kwenzi Jangwa also found in East Africa.
Kwenzi Maridadi is distinguished by having pale creamy-white eyes, as opposed to red eyes in the Hildebrandt's. Moreover, only adult superb starlings have a white breast band.
In the adult plumage, superb starlings have a bronzy-black crown and ear-coverts. The area between the eye and the bill on the side of their head (the lore) is black. Almost all their body is a blue-green glossy color; the chin, the throat, the chest, the nape, the mantle, their back, and their uppertail-coverts. The nape area displays the most prominent blue tones. A slender white strip divides the glossy chest from the red-orange abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The vent, as well as the underside of the tail and wings, are white. On the wings, the primary feathers 6-9 show an inward curve on the inner web, whereas primaries 5-8 have tapered outer web. The glossy metallic-green wings have dark black spots on the median and grater coverts. Their irises are creamy-white. Their legs and their bills are black.
Kwenzi Maridadi look like are sexually monomorphic, which means that both sexes look alike. However.... Next Article..... Maridadi Female.
Kwezi Maridadi has a long and loud song consisting of trills and chatters. At midday it gives a softer song of repeated phrases. There are several harsh calls, the most complex, which is described as "a shrill, screeching skerrrreeee-cherrrroo-tcherreeeeeet." Additionally, kwezi Maridadi produce warning chirr old version of bell bicycle and a reapeated whit-chor-chi-vii when they are excited.

Swahili:: KWENZI MARIDADI.
English:: Superb Stalling.
Scientists:: Lamprotornis superbus.
Gender:: Juveniles.
Order::Passeriformes.
Family::Sturnidae.
Genus:: Lamprotornis.
Species:: L. superbus.

Juveniles have duller plumage. There are distinct plumage regions, but there is no glossy sheen except on the tail and wing feathers.
The iris appears brown at first, later grayish white.
The bill has a pale yellowish color with darkening on the tip.
The legs are brown with black round stripes. By seven months, the bird acquires adult plumage, although the eyes remain dark, and there is yellow coloring at the base of the bill.
Kwezi Maridadi was originally thought to be a member of the Spreo genus. However, over time, the species from the Spreo genus changed considerably. Scientists reclassified some species of Spreo, including the kwezi Maridadi making the glossy species belong to the Lamprotornis genus. The classification of the kwezi Maridadi was challenging, since its behavior was different than the other species of the Lamprotornis genus. However, DNA hybridization data indicate that the kwezi Maridadi is part of the Lamprotornis genus.
Kwenzi Maridadi eggs are uniformly dark blue, measuring 24–26 millimetres (0.94–1.02 in) x 18–19 millimetres (0.71–0.75 in) and weighting 4.5 g. Females lay 3-4 eggs.
Based on captive breeding, the incubation period lasts 12–13 days, and the surprisingly short nestling period ranges from 18–24 days. Only the females incubate.
Nestlings are fed insects, primarily caterpillars and grasshoppers.
Kwenzi Maridadi form large social groups in which both breeding parents and 1-14 alloparents contribute to the care of the offspring.
It appears that both members of the breeding pair are involved in raising the young until they achieve independence. Individuals who are provisioned or nestled have been observed carrying food in their bills and did not seem to regurgitate.
Juvenile Kwezi Maridadi has a long and loud song consisting of trills and chatters. At midday it gives a hush song of repeated phrases. There are several harsh calls, the most complex, which is described as "a shrill, screeching skerrrreeee-cherrrroo-tcherreeeeeet." Global Birding Birds watchers kenya Ornithological photography

Swahili:: KWERA WA KAMAU (Disputed Swahili Name).
English;; Baglafecht Weaver.
Scientific:: Ploceus Baglafecht.
Gender:: Female.
Order:: Passeriformes.
Family:: Ploceidae.
Genus:: Ploceus.
Species:: P. Baglafecht.
Kwera wa Kamau (Disputed Swahili Name)is 15 cm long.
Female Kwera wa Kamau lacks a mask but has dusky lores with yellowish-green cap, concolorous with the upperparts. In the non breeding plumage the mask is largely lost but there remains a dusky area around the eye, greyish brown on the upperparts, including the crown, with white washed buff underparts. Juveniles and immature birds do not have a mask on the dark-yellowish green head.
Kwera wa Kamau normally breeds singly rather than in colonies. The nests are loosely woven and usually placed in the foliage of trees or bushes. It is often aggressive to other birds and not shy of people. Birds watchers kenya Ornithological photography
