This is a hoax South Africa does not have such a disgusting bird and its not a roller but a duck in this picture
You appear to be correct, I have not been able to verify that this “bird” is the real thing. However I have published your remark and will leave the bird up on the sight as I think it is beautiful and will bring some happiness in peoples lives as is. Thanks for your note!
