Description
I enjoy visiting the flock of Metallic Starlings kept an the Owens Aviary of the San Diego Zoo. They are fun to watch darting back and forth across the tops of the trees and fluttering in the bush often observed at the bird feeders.
As Wikipedia says, “ From a distance, the metallic starling looks just like another small black bird. However, at the right angle of sunlight, this beautiful bird shows an array of purples and green iridescence. Many starlings are native to European countries, but the so aptly named metallic starling is the only starling native to Papua New Guinea .. “
