Bird #74 - the lilac-breasted roller (LC)

Rather lazy and messy, since otherwise I won't have time to finish the flags in June :C

I didn't think there would be a bird for the trans flag (blue AND pink, two uncommon colours?) but lo and behold! They do also have greens and browns on their back, so not perfect but very close.

Rollers are named for their territorial and courtship displays, where they literally roll in their flight! Another great thing is there's no sexual dimorphism, so females have the bright colours too. Pride for all!

yes i'm still doing these!! i wasn't able to finish them all before my final exam (got an A+ in the class tho yay!!) so i wanted to take a breather before finishing them afterwards. also i totally got thrown into lamin research like right after the semester ended so i've been BUSY!!!

anyways, last two are accipitriformes and passeriformes. recommended me some passeriformes to include so that i can try to capture the diversity of the order!!!
