Why it matters
The violet-backed starling, or *Cinnyricinclus leucogaster*, is widely admired by birdwatchers for the iridescent, metallic plumage of the males, which contrasts sharply with their snowy white underparts. These birds are notable for their unique biology, as they are primarily forest-dwellers that rely on tree cavities for nesting, distinguishing them from many of their ground-nesting starling relatives.
