LilacBreastedRoller - Widely distributed throughout Africa, South of the Congo basin as well as in East Africa. This attractive bird is one of the most commonly seen of the Rollers. An inhabitant of dry open brush and wooded areas, it perches prominently on bushes, trees and fence poles. It preys on lizards and invertebrates, but is also known to take small birds. Lilac-breasted Rollers are also quite unbothered by people, allowing you to get very close for a great photograph.

The lilac breasted roller is a very colorful bird!
Funny, I was going to comment on how beautiful this bird was until I saw the details of it preying on other smaller birds, how sad!
