Azure Dollarbird

Eurystomus azureus

The Azure Dollarbird, also known as the Azure Roller, Purple Dollarbird, or Purple Roller, is a captivating species belonging to the Coraciidae family. This bird is distinguished by its vibrant plumage and is endemic to North Maluku in Indonesia.

Identification Tips

When observing the Azure Dollarbird, look for its striking coloration which includes shades of azure and purple. It is a member of the roller family, which is known for their robust bodies and strong, direct flight.

Habitat

The natural habitats of the Azure Dollarbird are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and plantations. These environments provide the necessary conditions for the bird to thrive.

Distribution

This species is found exclusively in North Maluku, Indonesia, where it is a native bird.

Behaviour

The Azure Dollarbird exhibits typical roller behavior, which includes powerful and agile flight. It is important to note that this bird is experiencing a decline in population, primarily due to habitat loss.

Conservation status

Previously classified as Vulnerable due to rapid population decline, the Azure Dollarbird's status has been updated to Near Threatened as of 2007. This change reflects a more optimistic view of its population numbers, which are still declining but not as rapidly as once feared. The species is currently under the watchful eye of conservationists who are monitoring its status in the wild.

Such a great app!
I didn’t think I could enjoy birding more but this app makes it so much better. Some great features and a really great way to share your sightings with your friends or fellow birders nearby or around the world! ❤️

Wonderful App
Birda is my go to app for keeping records of my bird sightings and sessions. It has fantastic information which is great at aiding identification. With all the updates that are coming in the new year, this app is something special.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Awesome Birding Community
I absolutely love the community aspect of this app. The app is so user friendly and has fun interactive challenges to get you out birding. I’ve tried others but since I’ve started using Birda I’ve not gone back!

Loving it
I really enjoy being able to interact with other birders on this platform! This seems like a great way to meet other birders and find some new spots.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!
