Plumcoloured Starling (Cinnyricinclus leucogaster)

The plum coloured starling is distributed from sub Sahara to the northern parts of South Africa. The starling is a fairly common intra-African migrant.

Likes woodland, bushveld and riverine forest. Gregarious, the starling is found in small flocks when not breeding. Feeds mainly on fruits and insects.

Breeds in summer in the northern parts of South Africa, normally in a hole in a tree. The nest is lined with green leaves on a bed of grass.
