- Description
- Wing‐moult of the Cape Glossy Starling, Red‐winged Starling, Pale‐winged Starling and Pied Starling was examined primarily from speci-mens in southern African museums. Breeding data were obtained from nest record cards. The Cape Glossy Starling breeds from October to March, with the moult period from December to May. There is no evi-dence of moult‐breeding overlap in individual birds. The Red‐winged Starling breeds from September to March, while the moult takes place between November and April, overlapping with the second broods. The Pale‐winged Starling breeds from October to April and moults between November and May. The Pied Starling moults between November and April, while breeding varies regionally, occurring concurrently with moulting in some areas.
