20 Most Beautiful Birds in the World (Pics)

There are so many different types of birds, it has been challenging to choose the 20 most beautiful birds in the world. Wherever you go in the world you’re likely to see a bird or hear them sing. Whether you’re in a city, up a mountain, in the rainforest, or even the desert, they’ll be at least one of 10,000 species of birds in the world living there.

Lilac Breasted Roller: I've travelled in Africa a fair bit, including going on safari in Tanzania, and one of the most beautiful birds I've seen there is the lilac-breasted roller. Lilac-Breasted Rollers can be found widely throughout sub-Saharan African and the southern Arabian Peninsula. With their vibrant colours – blue or green head, turquoise belly, brown back, and of course that beautiful lilac breast, they make an eye-catching sight against the dusty yellows of the African savannah plains where they live.
