Dollar Bird


Dollar Bird is a bird of the roller family, so named because of the distinctive blue coin-shaped spots on its wings.

It has a length of up to 30cm, and can be found in east Asia, from northern Australia to the Japan archipelago. The bird is an insectivore with a love of beetles and often catches prey whilst flying. The young birds have a darker beak which becomes more orange as it becomes mature.
