Help me identify this bird?

I guess this post is primarily for my Australian bird-watching contacts (yeah, I don't know if I have any either). I just picked up this (possibly) injured bird hopping around my yard. It's about budgie sized, might be a baby. Is has bluey-green and black feathers, the green feathers have a real satiny-sheen to them. It also has a really long beak that it's not afraid of using.

I obviously have no clue what to feed it. I'm hoping its distinctive beak might give a clue?

ETA: With rose-lemberg's help I think we've identified the bird. It looks likely to be a Sacred Kingfisher
