Habitat: Southwest-central Angola to northeast Tanzania and south through Mosambique. Southern Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Sparsely distributed in dry, open woodland.
Length: 16 inches.
Migration: Non-migrant.
Nest: An unlined cavity in a tree trunk or branch.
Voice: Loud, very harsh repeated "cha" or "tchek". An explosive screeching in rolling display flight.
Notes: Rollers are stocky treetop birds that have large heads, hooked beaks and short legs. Their colors tend to be beautiful shades of blue, purple, and russet especially the spread wings and tail. Rollers are named for the aerial "rolling" during courtships and territorial display.
The racket-tailed roller eats a diet of insects, such as flying ants and termites, grasshoppers, and crickets as well as centipedes and scorpions.
Rollers occur singly or in pairs, groups of 6-7 are sometimes seen. They scan the ground from a perch then swooop down to the ground to catch and eat prey.

Here I am making sounds/noises/music on my wife's piano. She is not here at the moment. If a musician isn't present to hear me play on the piano, does it make music?
