Bee-eaters are cavity nesters that burrow directly into the soil or the side of cliffs. They nest in colonies, and there may be hundreds of cavities in one area. Males and females dig their burrows using their sharp bills to jab the sand until it loosens1.

On the other hand, African fish eagles are known for their hunting skills. They are opportunistic predators and feed on a variety of prey, including fish, birds, and small mammals2. While I couldn’t find any specific information about bee eaters burrowing against African fish eagles, it’s possible that bee eaters might try to protect their nests from predators like African fish eagles.
