Spotted
The Golden-breasted Starling is perhaps one of Africa's most breathtaking birds, featuring a dazzling metallic green head and back, a vivid golden-yellow breast, and a bright blue belly. It is truly regal in appearance.
Where to spot
Found in East Africa, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania, inhabiting dry savannas, acacia woodlands, and thornbush.
How to spot
Its iridescent green, golden-yellow, and bright blue plumage are unmistakable. Look for them foraging in open, arid areas or perched prominently on trees and bushes. They are often quite bold.
When to spot
Easily observed throughout the day, particularly when foraging on the ground or perched conspicuously. Resident birds.

These starlings are known for their intricate nests, often built in thorny acacia trees, which help protect their eggs and chicks from predators.
