This Pied Kingfisher carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. Both sexes of this black-and-white crested Pied Kingfisher are very similar and are only distinguished by the presence of two, full, breast bands (one broad and one narrow) in the male whereas the female has a single, incomplete, breast band. The call of the Pied Kingfisher is a loud kwik or kik, penetrating and repeated, and a high-pitched TREEtiti TREEtiti .
