An adult Asian Glossy Starling (Aplonis panayensis) seen here with two juveniles and earlier seen being fed. This species are commonly found here in nearly all habitats. The plumage of the adults can change from brilliant green to purple to black under bright sunlight. The bright red eyes are distinctive. Juveniles appear different. They have a creamy breast streaked with black and a dull, green-grey back. The birds gather in flocks when feeding and in larger flocks when roosting. The birds nest the year round, in a variety of cavities – in trees, eves of houses, even in the crowns of palms. A full clutch of eggs is three and often all three survive to fledge.
