The superb starling is a gorgeous iridescent starling from central-eastern Africa, and apparently in a national park in Kenya, a specific species of monkey has learned and responds to their alarm calls for predators! Inter-species interaction is so cool.

It has an iridescent blue-green neck, shoulders, back, and wings, and a striking orange belly and chest. A thin white band separates the orange and blue, while its eyes are a pale, creamy yellow. These social birds are found in the open woodlands and savannas of East Africa, from Sudan to Tanzania. They are active and often forage on the ground for insects and fruit in small, noisy flocks. 2.5 Flash (Edited) No subspecies are currently recognised.

@alan678.bsky.social This is an archive #photograph for #BirdOfTheDay of a #SuperbStarling for the alternative theme of #ColourfulCaptures. This was in a massive arid based aviary, hence the cacti. #photo #photography #starling #superb #colourful 🪶
Superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) in an aviary. This species is classed as Least Concern (2024) on the IUCN Red List but with a decreasing population trend. It is extant to Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, and introduced to the United Arab Emirates (BirdLife International 2017). In situ, forages on the ground for invertebrates (i.e. termites, grasshoppers, caterpillars and beetles) as well as small fruits and nectar (Feare and Craig 1998). It is gregarious and found in fairly large flocks. Peaks in breeding activity occur in March-April and November-December for East Africa (Feare and Craig 1998). Cooperative breeding has been observed, with juvenile birds helping the adults to construct nests and feed the chicks (Feare and Craig 1998). Superb starlings may build their own nests, which are roughly constructed from twigs lined with grass and feathers with a side entrance and are sited in thorn trees or holes in trees/cliffs about 1-5-6 m above the ground; they also sometimes take over the nests of other birds such as those of white-headed buffalo-weavers (Dinemellia dinemelli) (Feare and Craig 1998). The clutch usually consists of about four dark blue eggs, which are incubated for about 12-13 days perhaps by both sexes, however in captivity only females have been observed incubating (Feare and Craig 1998). The nesting period lasts for 18-24 days, and the chicks are fed with invertebrates (especially caterpillars), and sometimes berries (Feare and Craig 1998). Fledglings are fed by parents and helpers for 4-7 weeks after leaving the nest (Oiseaux birds (no date)). It is threatened by the pet trade.

I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

Three superb starlings (lamprotornis superbus) are gathered on a small open space in the woods. The one in front seems to be taller, the two in the back a bit smaller. The two in the back seem to be yelling to the one in front who seems to be listening. It looks like a heated argument is going on. All interpretation of course.
