Dollarbird

Eurystomus orientalis

Least Concern

The Dollarbird is a colorful roller of Southeast Asia, Australasia, and nearby islands. It watches from an exposed branch, wire, or snag before dropping to catch large insects, small reptiles, or other prey, and its broad wings often flash bright colors in a swift, direct flight.
