Hello my friends, Today I present you with another picture from the Phoenix Zoo aviary, there is many Starlings over there, and this is the Grosbeak Starling, he is very noise and curious.

The Grosbeak Starling (Scissirostrum dubium) is a species of starling in the Sturnidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Scissirostrum. It is endemic to Indonesia.

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

Hello Everton,

This starling does have a very large beak. I understand how he gained his name!
Lovely pose and nice details!

I think he is just a little soft and I wonder if he would look better moved to the right abit so he is not quite so central.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I love the colors of the bird and I really like the composition. Outstanding detail, nice catchlight in eye, and beautiful blurred background. The DOF of this photo is excellent!

Hi Everton,

Another bird I have neither heard of nor seen. Beautiful colors with the orange beak and feathers with the grey and black. You caught him in a nice pose and he seems to be giving you the eye.

Hi Everton.
I like the nice picture a lot. Combination of light, perfectly smoothed colourful BG and simply outstanding in every respect grey-black bird is terrific. Y-tree branch pattern is very cute as well as the composition of the image at whole. My compliments and TFS.
