Metallic Starling

by Envision Interested in this? Contact The Artist

From a distance, the Metallic Starling looks just like a small black bird, but with the right angle of light, these birds show an array of purple and green iridescence. Many Starlings are native to European countries, but the Metallic Starling is the only starling native to Papua New Guinea and surrounding Australian islands.

Metallica Starlings breed in large colonies and build their woven nests in tall trees. Their eggs are pale blue. The male and female look the same.
