The scientific family name for roller birds, a group of colorful insect-eating birds found primarily in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
From genus Coracias + Latin suffix -idae (meaning 'family'). The -idae suffix became the standard way to name animal families in biological taxonomy during the 19th century.
The Coraciidae family contains some of the most brilliantly colored birds you'll ever see, with iridescent blues and greens that shine in the African sunlight—they're like flying jewels!
