Coracias is a genus of rollers in the Coraciidae family. They share the colourful appearance of those groups, blues and browns predominating. The two outer front toes are connected, but not the inner one. These are insect eaters, usually catching their prey in the air. They often perch prominently whilst hunting, like giant shrikes. The name is from the Ancient Greek korakías (κορακίας), derived from korax (κόραξ, ‘raven, crow’). Aristotle described the coracias as a bird as big as a crow but has a red beak, which some believe to be the chough. Rollers are related to bee-eaters.
