🐦Indian Roller
Die Hinduracke (Coracias benghalensis) ist eine in Süd- und Südostasien recht weit verbreitete und häufig vorkommende Rackenart. Sie ist nahe mit der Blauracke (Coracias garrulus) verwandt, deren östlichste Populationen auf dem Durchzug das Brutgebiet der Hinduracke berühren. Wie alle Rackenvögel ist auch die Hinduracke ein Ansitzjäger, der sich vor allem von größeren Insekten ernährt. Die meisten Populationen dieser Art scheinen mehr oder weniger sesshaft zu sein, doch ist das Zugverhalten von Hinduracken insgesamt noch ungenügend erforscht. Sie brütet in natürlichen Höhlen und Halbhöhlen, gelegentlich auch in aufgegebenen Spechthöhlen. Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden, von denen laut IUCN keine zurzeit gefährdet ist.
