Blue-bellied Roller
This Blue-bellied Roller reveals all the chromatic magnificence characteristic of the Coraciidae family, those birds that cross the African savannas like flashes of color. Its plumage displays a range of deep blues, turquoises, and ultramarines, with reflections that change depending on the angle of the light, forming a striking contrast with the golden buff hue of its head and breast.
The silky texture of its feathers, the slenderness of its silhouette, and the intensity of its gaze evoke the acrobatic flight for which the species is renowned. In the wild, these birds perform veritable aerial arabesques to attract mates, further enhancing their aura as living jewels of the Sahelian landscapes.
