The Rainbow Bee-eater is a stunning bird. Brilliant green, yellow, orange, blue, and black with a downcurved black bill. Trailing beyond their tails, they have two tail streamers that are longer in males than females.

They dig burrows between 1 and 3.3 meters long to lay their eggs. The floor of the brood chamber inside the tunnels is around 40-42 cm below ground level.n A lot of mating pairs will have helpers that assist with digging the tunnels, incubating the eggs, and feeding the young.
