Starling I (Purple) by Lladró

The starling is a small bird that nevertheless offers one of nature’s most beautiful sights when they flock together and fly as one in what is known as a murmuration. When flying in flocks these little birds synchronize their movements to form amazing patterns that cover the sky like dancing clouds. Lladró artists have focused on the bird’s unique iridescent black feathers, with green and purple sheens, captured in these starlings in the minute ornamentation. In the black and the purple versions, the single-color tone enhances each one of the feathers covering the little birds.
