Description
The Metallic Starling, also known as Shining Starling, is a native of New Guinea and nearby Australasian islands, and a limited area of NE Australia. The adult has brilliant red eyes, a long tail and green-glossed black plumage. I was concentrating on his beautiful plumage and he jerked his head around to glare at me (thus the blur of his face). The red eyes are real - as he shocked me and flew away. Taken inside the walk through bird enclosure at the Palm Beach Zoo – May 2010.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments.
They are very much appreciated.

That looks like a very evil bird, one that Lovecraft would use in his stories
Most interesting eyes! A great capture!
Not a friendly looking bird. That is as clear a 'you want a piece of me' look as I've ever seen.
Fascinating eyes. That one should have been in Hitchcocks The Birds.
