About These Birds
Black-bellied Starling
The Black-bellied Starling is a glossy, medium-sized starling of East African forests and woodland edges, with males showing iridescent greenish-black plumage and a distinctive black belly. It ranges from Kenya and Tanzania south to Malawi and Zimbabwe. It forages in small flocks on fruits, berries, and invertebrates, often in the canopy or mid-level of moist forests.
