SUPERB STARLING (M) Lamprotornis superbus ©Laura Quick A pretty and colorful member of the starling family, superb starlings are found in shrub lands and savannah across north east Africa. The superb starling feeds primarily on the ground, often below, or in the vicinity of acacia trees. These birds mainly feeds on insects (grasshoppers, beetles, termites, ants and flies) and worms, but also on grains, fruits and small berries. They are gregarious and are generally rather tame and unafraid of people. The breeding season lasts from October to February in Ethiopia, from March to June in Somalia. Spherical nests of grasses and twigs are built in bushes, in trees of medium height and also in rock crevices. Females lay 3-4 eggs which are incubated for twelve days. Both the male and the female take care of the offspring. #superbstarling #lamprotornissuperbus #©lauraquick #savannah #starling #bird #animal #northafrica #eastafrica #colorful #lazoo #omnivore #losangeleszoo #losangeleszooandbotanicalgardens #glaza #beautiful #birdsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-w0fsHyKi/?igshid=1vi99q78amn06

The superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) is a member of the starling family of birds. It was formerly known as Spreo superbus. These birds are omnivores that hunt on the ground for seeds and fruit as well as insects and other invertebrates, including crop pests. They sometimes become pests themselves by feeding on farmers’ grains. #superbstarling #superbstarlingbird #birdsofkenya🇰🇪 #birdphotography #wildlife_photography #wildlifelover__ #conservationgeneration (at Nairobi, Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgNwpLKEJc/?utm_medium=tumblr
