Purple glossy starling at Al Ain Zoo

Summary

[edit]
Description Caught the brilliant turquoise coat at last! This bird was perfectly placed, with the correct light, and despite being indoors under artificial light, did manage to show off its true colours. The Greater Blue-eared Glossy-starling nests in holes in trees, either natural or excavated by woodpeckers or barbets. It will also nest inside the large stick nests of the Sacred Ibis or Abdim's Stork. The three to five eggs are greenish-blue with some brown or purple spots, and hatch in 13–14 days. The chicks leave the nest in another 23 days. (Al Ain, UAE, Dec. 2012)
