Why it matters
The Narrow-tailed Starling (*Poeoptera lugubris*) is a forest-dwelling bird native to parts of Central and West Africa, known for the distinctive, slender silhouette created by its namesake narrow wings and pointed tail. While less frequently observed than many other starling species due to its preference for high forest canopies, it remains a fascinating subject for ornithologists interested in the diverse adaptations of the Sturnidae family.
