The red-bearded bee-eater is a large bee-eater of forests and their margins. It has a red throat, massive head and long bill. It often waits on a concealed branch for a large insect.
It makes a short flight after prey, then returns to its perch. Usually solitary or paired, it nests in a tunnel dug in the ground. Parents bring insects to young remaining in the nesting chamber.
