"Lilac-breasted Roller" was a poor example to use, as the GAIS does seem to
come up with lots of relevant images. I was searching on more obscure and
less photogenic spp where many of the images provided (and the web-pages
they came from) had absolutely no relation to the bird sp. It would be
preferable for GAIS to come up with fewer hits in these cases.
