英文释义

名词 n.
  1. Synonym of violet-backed starling.
    — Now, in certain lights (for afterwards I saw the bird many times) the plumage does not appear copper-coloured but the prevailing appearance is purple, and in Rhodesia the egg-collecting schoolboys call the amethyst starling a “purple-back”. Apart from his marvellous purple beauty I doubt if any bird has a breast of a purer and more gleaming white.
