About These Birds
Blauracke
Die Blauracke verdankt ihren englischen Namen („Roller“) den spektakulären Roll- und Sturzflügen, die Männchen während der Balz vorführen. Sie ist die einzige Rackenart Europas und einer der farbenprächtigsten Vögel des Kontinents. In weiten Teilen ihres westlichen Verbreitungsgebiets geht der Bestand durch Landwirtschaftsintensivierung und Lebensraumverlust zurück.
Azure Dollarbird
The Azure Dollarbird is a Near Threatened roller found in the North Maluku Islands of Indonesia, weighing about 122.8g with a wingspan of 38cm. It inhabits forest edges and open woodland, and like other dollarbirds catches insects on the wing with powerful aerial pursuits. Its striking azure-blue plumage makes it one of the most colorful rollers in its range.
