Feeding Habits
Fiery-browed Starling consume a variety of fruits, berries, and invertebrates, foraging from the canopy to just above the ground. They exhibit unique feeding behaviors such as upside-down bark prying for insects and often forage in pairs or groups, sometimes associating with other bird species at fruiting trees.
Habitat
The fiery-browed Starling predominantly inhabits rainforests in montane regions, including both lowland and elfin moss forests. It may also be found in forest edges and areas where selective logging has occurred. This bird generally prefers dense, moist forested environments, thriving better in areas that offer a rich canopy and abundant food resources.
Dite type
Herbivorous
General Info
Behavior
This starling usually occurs in pairs or groups, and sometimes large flocks. It eats invertebrates and fruit, often climbing tree trunks to search for food. Mixed flocks with the Sulawesi myna and grosbeak starling, both also endemic to Sulawesi, have been observed at fruit-bearing trees. Calls recorded include peeep, tik tik and various guttural notes, and the song is a repeated metallic zeek zeek.
Distribution Area
This species is endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is found at elevations of 500–2,300 m (1,600–7,500 ft), living mainly in montane rainforest and also in lowland forest, elfin forest and forest edges.
Species Status
This species has a small range, and its population appears to be in decline, but the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) considers that there are no substantial threats and lists it as a least-concern species.
