Why it matters
The Metallic Starling is celebrated for its iridescent plumage, which shifts between shades of green and violet when caught in the light. Its distinctively long, graduated, and pointed tail serves as a key identifier, setting it apart from other members of the starling family found across its range in Northern Australia and New Guinea.
