In order to avoid calamities, the kingfisher initially selects a high place to build its nest.
Once the young birds hatch, it moves the nest to a slightly lower location. This is because the kingfisher is particularly fond of its offspring and fears they might fall from a great height.
When the fledglings grow beautiful feathers, the kingfisher becomes even fonder and more protective. Consequently, it moves the nest further downward, which results in the young birds being easily captured by people.
