A grackle with iridescent feathers sitting on one side of a bird food bell, while a starling with green and gold shiny feathers is on the other. Both are facing left.
The feathers were flying before they settled down, LOL! Both bird types are GREEDY.

Another nice afternoon to sit on the deck. A pair of Starlings have returned to a hollowed out branch on a tree to move back in for this season.

A European starling sings from a bridge in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the starling is silhouetted in the upper right quadrant of the frame with its beak open in song. The background is pure white. The bridge on which it perches adds a strong graphic element, appearing as a dark arch beneath the bird. In the lower left quadrant, a rectangular opening in the bridge reveals the white background, giving the composition an almost abstract quality. Photo by Kort Duce

Greater blue-eared starling, seen in Kruger National Park. What a stunner. #starling #birds #beauty #southafrica #africa #photography #photographer #nature #wild #wildlife #africananimals
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.
@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 πͺΆ
Fortunate to have a #Starling murmuration going on locally, just a shame work gets in the way...

A bird with a brown back, black cap, white neck and belly, and red patches below the eyes perches on a branch, with a broad tree trunk and green foliage filling the background.
A black bodied bird with a wide-open, light-colored beak perches on a deck railing facing slightly to the right of the camera. Blurry green foliage fills the top half of the background.
A pigeon with a blackish head and neck, grey body, and black wing feathers tipped in white perches on a porch top rail, mouth agape and eyes closed.
Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), todayβs #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut birds calling out. The alt theme is #NestBuilders.
I've gone with
(1). A Red-Whiskered #Bulbul (Kolkata India)
(2). A (juvenile?) #Starling (Charlotte NC US)
(3). A #Pigeon (Porto Portugal)

Signalis cock size chart? PART 2 -> "you really shouldn't ask a girl that, ESPECIALLY on her break." Images clearly made by someone who doesn't know how big a cm is, I think these ones are a little closer than the last set though maybe.

Opal the harpy in harpy and avian form. Her hair/fur/feathers have a similar style to a starling, dark with spots, but with colourful shimmer and speckles like a dark opal. In her harpy form her skin is pale, and in both forms her scaled burd legs are yellow. Her eyes are teal. She wields a crossbow and has a quiver of bolts and a hunting knife at her hips
I had the honour of designing Opal the harpy for @oliatypical.vtubers.social LOOK AT HER FEATHERS I SPENT SO LONG ON THE FEATHERS nyehehe
Mayhaps I can design a character for you too on VGen? ππ

The emerald starling (Lamprotornis iris) is classed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List with an unknown population trend. It is probably threatened by human activity such as mining, hunting and trapping and habitat destruction. This species is extant to south-east Guinea, Sierra Leone and CΓ΄te d'Ivoire. It inhabits savannah from 0-1070 metres above sea level. The species' diet includes fruit such as figs, other fruit and vegetable matter and insects.
This emerald starling appears metallic in this light.
@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #PerfectLighting I have chosen the #emerald #starling due to its #iridescence and the way it can appear #gold and other colours in different lights. #birds #bird #photography πͺΆ
This is a Lesser Blue-eared Starling (Lamprotornis chloropterus), which can vary in colour due to its iridescence, varying between green and blue in different lights. Here it appears mostly blue. It is classed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with a stable population trend. This species inhabits savannah and shrubland. It occurs in a wide belt across Western to Eastern Africa to Ethiopia, and South-eastern and Southern Africa in Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It consumes nectar, fruit and invertebrates and usually feeds on the ground.
@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #PrimaryColours #Songbirds Here is a #Lesser #Blue #Eared #Starling taken years ago in a huge aviary. Its #iridescent colours are mostly #blue and it is also a songbird. So fits both themes. #bird #birds #photography #beauty πͺΆ
