Coraciidae - rollers
 There are 11 species in this family. Rollers are crow-sized birds found in warm areas of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the islands of the South Pacific. The two inner toes on their feet are connected and they have small bills and medium to long tail feathers. Most rollers are some combination of blue and brown in color. They get their name from their display flight. They fly straight up into the air and then fold in their wings and free fall towards the ground, they then roll over and fly up again! They eat insects while they are in flight and often perch on a branch waiting for prey to go by.
