Is It Not Nice to Nest in Cool Cavities?

Is It Not Nice to Nest in Cool Cavities?

Different birds symbolize several diverse things:
still owls can shake souls even in their dwellings!
King, not you, no, just about ten centimeters long,
weighing somewhat 9 to 12 grams, there’s nix wrong.

Specialists state that the slenderest species of kingfisher
is the African dwarf kingfisher. We’re readier and richer!
You’re often seen as a symbol of plenty or prosperity.
Timing: your nesting in periods of rain boosts positivity.

Woodland kingfisher, are you a weather predictor?
With a beautiful red and black beak, you’re a victor.
Bird, your types are typically tropical in distribution,
and you’re fine and found in forests, silent or in action.
Around rivers or from your perch, you pounce on them: fish.
Nesting, when you discover invertebrates, to them you dash.
Did I not observe your kingly entrance into a tree-living termite nest?
You inhabit forests in Nigeria, Uganda, and the DRC and the rest, my best!
