🌍 Golden-breasted starling (Lamprotornis regius)

The golden-breasted starling, also known as the royal starling, is a species of glossy starling found in Africa. It is named after its vibrant golden-yellow breast feathers that contrast with it's mostly blue-black plumage. This glossy starling has a distinctive appearance with its long tail, strong beak, and white eyes. Its feathers have a glossy, metallic sheen, reflecting iridescent shades of blue, green, and purple in different lighting conditions. The wings are rounded, enabling agile flight. The golden-breasted starling is primarily found in woodland areas, savannas, and open grasslands across sub-Saharan Africa. Two subspecies are recognised.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
