| The Red-bearded Bee-eater Nyctyornis amictus is a large species of bee-eater found in the Indo-Malayan subregion of South-east Asia. This species is found in openings in patches of dense forest. |
 |
| Like other bee-eaters, they are colourful birds with long tails, long decurved beaks and pointed wings. They are large bee-eaters, predominantly green, with a red colouration to face that extends on to the slightly hanging throat feathers to form the “beard”. |
 |
| They predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in flight from perches concealed in foliage. Loc - Selangor malaysia August 2011 |
