Why Kingfishers Get Stuck?

Have you ever wondered why kingfishers sometimes get their beaks stuck? They’re amazing hunters, diving into water at high speeds to catch fish, but they’re not the best at maneuvering. Their long, pointed beaks slice through water with almost no resistance, but because they rely on speed rather than agility, they can’t always adjust their flight in time. And when they misjudge a dive or fly through dense branches, their beaks can get lodged in wood or mud, leaving them momentarily stuck before they manage to free themselves.
