This brave lilac-breasted roller lost his eye defending his mate and her eggs at the North Carolina Zoo where he lived. This earned him the name True Grit after the famous John Wayne character. He managed to live a long life with one eye, and could still catch flying insects and roll with them in the air as his species’ name suggests. This was hand-drawn with Procreate and is available as fine art prints in a variety of sizes to meet all needs.
