761. Violet-backed Starling (Plum-coloured Starling) Cinnyrinclus leucogaster

Violet-backed starlings nest in tree holes high off the ground, lining the nests with dung, leaves and other plant material. They have been known to reuse nests in successive breeding seasons. The oval, spotted blue eggs are incubated for a period of roughly 2 weeks. It is believed that only the female incubates the eggs, but both adults feed the hatchlings.
