Taxidermy Abyssinian Roller

Latin: Coracias abyssinicus

Size: Approx. 53cm x 31cm x 20cm

Description: Taxidermy Abyssinian Roller mounted on driftwood, under an original Victorian oval glass dome.

These rollers perch prominently on trees, posts or overhead wires, like giant shrikes, whilst watching for the large insects and small rodents on which they feed. They will dash into the smoke of a forest fire for disturbed invertebrates. They are fearless, and will dive and roll at humans and other intruders.
