Rüppell’s starling (Lamprotornis purpuroptera) is one of East Africa’s most abundant starling. A big-sized and long-tailed starling of moist woodland to cultivation habitats mostly below 1,400 meters above sea level. They are very vocal around communities where they enjoy the safer and easy-to-share breeding cavities with large-sized Barbets like the Double-toothed. This particular individual appears to be having a faulty eye! The pupil on the bird’s right shows an unproportionate shape compared to the normal one to the left. Does this affect its vision? I only noticed this later after looking at the video, although I am sure it would never grant me the privilege to observe such issues in its life
