Information about the Violet-Backed Starling:
The Violet-Backed Starling – also called the Plum-colored Starling or Amethyst Starling – is a smaller species of starling native to the woodlands and savannah forest edges of mainland sub-Saharan Africa. The males and females look very different (this is sexually dimorphic) with the males being a brilliant violet color on the head, wings and tail with white underparts whereas the females are a somewhat drab brown and white. The bird spend nearly its entire life in the trees, rarely coming down onto the forest floor. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates along with fruits and berries. Cinnyricinclus leucogaster is a monogamous species and will remain faithful to it’s partner until one of them dies.

Artist’s notes:
The Violet-Backed Starling was completed on 5.16.2014. This drawing was inspired by a suggestion made by one of the people who subscribe to my Facebook page. For some time, I had mostly been drawing animals that I could use in a collage, but didn’t have one in mind here – I just loved this African songbird and really wasn’t familiar with the species. The drawing is based on a photo by Stefan Koeder and was used with permission.
