dolmol₁ n Kind of bird, dark feathers on back and light colored breast. [This bird is described as having black or dark feathers on its back and wings with a light colored breast. It is about the size of a kingfisher but has a curved bill, something like that of a small parrot. It is named for its characteristic of gazing at the ground, looking for insects. When it sees one it quickly hops down to eat it. It is considered beneficial because it eats insects such as butterflies and their larva which destroy the crops.]
