Every year, Alcyone, a genus of kingfishers also known as the "halcyon," nests in coastal or riverine habitats. During nesting season, these birds engage in courtship displays, often building their nests in burrows or tree cavities. Once the eggs are laid, both parents typically participate in incubating them and feeding the chicks after they hatch. This period is crucial for the survival of the young birds, as they rely on their parents for nourishment and protection until they're ready to fledge.

Each constellation is made of stars that are all approximately in the same direction as seen from Earth. That does not mean they are grouped together in 3D space. The bright star in Taurus is Aldebaran, which is 60-70 light years away and about 100 times brighter than the Sun. The Pleiades is an open cluster that is in Taurus, about 500 light-years away, and the brightest star in the Pleiades, Alcyone, is 2-3 times brighter than Aldebaran.

In Greek mythology Ceyx was the son of Eosphorus and the king of Thessaly.He was married to Halcyone. They were very happy together, and according to Pseudo-Apollodorus's account, often called each other "Zeus" and "Hera". This angered Zeus, so while Ceyx was at sea, the god threw a thunderbolt at his ship. Ceyx appeared to Halcyone as an apparition to tell her of his fate, and she threw herself into the sea in her grief. Out of compassion, the gods changed them both into halcyon birds.
