The purple-backed starling is a magnificent bird, captivating all who have the privilege of witnessing its brilliant purple iridescence. This remarkable bird is truly a sight not to be missed.

This bird is relatively small (six inches, weighs about a meter). The male alone has a white chest and a striking metallic purple back that are characteristics of the species.

The purple-backed starfish can be found in Sub-Saharan Africa

They prefer to stay away from the rainforests of the Congo Basin.

They are often seen in forests and forest edges, or in forests and clearings. Purple-backed starlings feed mainly on seeds, fruits, berries, arthropods and mainly tree canopy.

Purple-backed sandpipers are primarily migratory birds, although some areas have resident birds.

A female usually builds a spot two meters away from the bush – almost at the fork of a tree. This cake is made mainly from green leaves and almonds.

She pairs two eggs to get eggs, blue with red/brown spots, in 12-14 days.

Luckily, she is not allowed to do all the work with her young, as the male will also help feed the chicks until they are fully grown at about 21 days old.

In addition, color models are an important factor for gender selection. Measuring the color ratio of a species serves as a specific communication.

Both sexes of this species couldn’t look more opposite if they tried! The man wore purple clothes proudly; females tend to bleed into their own bodies – making it much harder to detect.

The male’s purple back contrasts with its white belly. While females (and offspring) of this species have white-striped eyebrows and abdomen. They look more like a thrush.

However, they all share a dark beak and yellow eyes.

Females and young birds have eyebrow tips and a white back and belly with eyebrow spots. Both males and females have black beaks and legs – much more colorful and feathered than male starlings.
