Asian Glossy Starling or previously named as Philippine Glossy Starling are one of the most common birds one could see in parks, gardens, plantations etc - especially where there are fruit trees. If there is a ripe papaya, a flock could finish it within a few hours. A flock of about 50 birds were seen recently at Templer's Park (Aug 2011) , feasting themself on ripe berries on a tree.
This is a juvenile grabbing itself a ripe berry.
This fellow is an adult looking at which berries to pick.
This is probably a sub-adult.
An adult deciding which of the two hungry mouths to feed!
