This African bird flies freely in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. It often likes to hang out in the Bougainvillea that grows right up and along the very high ceiling.

This stunning Superb Starling (from Africa) came to check me out in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo this afternoon. They really are beautiful birds and I was happy that this one actually sat still long enough for me to take a few shots. I just love those irridescent turquoise feathers and white eye-ring!
