Media notes
Birds head bobbing and calling. I am not sure if it is the same behaviour described in HBW for other rollers. Only one other display has been described, the bowing display or “palaver” of European, Abyssinian and Indian Rollers, and this appears to be a greeting ceremony, used between members of a pair and sometimes when three or more birds, perhaps relatives, meet.' Possibly two males initially 'performing' for third in the first clip. This third bird left and the two 'performing' birds returned shortly after - the second clip. Elevation: 466 m. Date added to IBC: October 28, 2016.
