Why it matters
The purple-headed starling is a striking inhabitant of the dense, humid forests of Central and West Africa, easily recognized by the iridescent violet gloss on its head and its distinctive broad wings. It is a canopy-dwelling species that remains relatively elusive to observers, making its rare sightings a point of interest for both ornithologists and dedicated birders.
