Not just another pretty face

One of the best treasures of South Africa is the birds. This is a lilac breasted roller--you might be able to count the 8 colors on its body. A sight to be hold for sure, but these birds are also clever, and bold enough to take advantage of brush fires. As various small animals and insects flee the flames, the lilac-breasted roller will swoop down on them. In fact, these territorial birds strategically move their hunting headquarters to the edge of fires for best picking.
