About the Item
Victorian Blue European Roller (Coracias Garrulus) Bird in Glass Dome Taxidermy
Dating to late late 19th century, Victorian
From a private collection
The European roller (Coracias garrulus) is a bird species belonging to the roller family, Coraciidae. It is a medium-sized bird that is known for its striking and vibrant plumage. The European roller is named for its impressive aerial acrobatics, especially during courtship displays and while catching insects in flight.
Key features of the European roller include its bright blue plumage with hints of green, a russet-orange patch on its back, and a light blue crown. The bird has a distinctive rolling or tumbling flight, where it executes impressive somersaults and twists in the air during certain displays.
These birds are migratory, spending the breeding season in Europe and parts of western Asia and then migrating to sub-Saharan Africa for the winter. They typically nest in tree holes, often choosing locations in open landscapes like grasslands, agricultural areas, or river valleys.
European rollers primarily feed on insects, which they catch in flight. They are known for their ability to hunt large insects, such as beetles and grasshoppers, and they may also consume small vertebrates.
The European roller is recognized for its striking appearance and behavior, making it a sought-after species for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their breeding and wintering habitats to ensure the well-being of these colorful birds.
