11 Interesting Facts About Strikingly Colorful Bird Lilac-Breasted Roller

Are lilac-breasted rollers friendly? Friendly may be a stretch, but they do not fear humans. You can get quite close to a lilac-breasted roller without it flying off—which is great when you're trying to take a picture. On the other hand, lilac-breasted rollers are fiercely territorial, and they will object if you get too close to their nest, even if they don't currently have eggs or chicks. They also guard their favorite hunting grounds and will chase off intruders.
