You can often see our Rainbow Bee-eater sitting on her favourite perch scanning for prey. Bee-eaters can eat up to 300 bees or wasps in one day! Once they catch their prey, they will rub it up against a perch to remove the stings and venom glands. #huntervalleyzoo #huntervalleywildlifepark #rainbowbeeeater #beeeater #huntervalley | Hunter Valley Wildlife Park

Listen to the sounds of a flock of rainbow bee-eaters (Merops ornatus) recorded in Kakadu National Park. Spectacular aerial acrobats with a colourful plumage to match, these medium-sized birds catch insects in flight before returning to their perch to eat. The rainbow bee-eater has a slim, long and slightly curved bill and a long tail with distinctive tail-streamers. 📷Luke Paterson, NT Bird Specialists | Parks Australia
