Tanzania Bird of the Year 2025: The Superb Starling
The Superb Starling (Lamprotornis superbus)—with its vibrant plumage and strong social bonds—has been named Tanzania’s Bird of the Year 2025. This familiar yet overlooked bird reminds us that even common species face growing threats. With the theme “Once common birds are no longer common,” the campaign urges all Tanzanians to protect everyday nature before it’s too late.
Though still widespread, the Superb Starling’s numbers are declining in some areas due to urban development, habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. As a symbol of resilience and community, its decline warns of broader environmental risks.
Nature Tanzania, with support from NABU and PfKN, invites everyone—students, farmers, and leaders—to take action by preserving native trees, reducing pesticide use, supporting bird-friendly farming, and promoting environmental education and citizen science.
Protecting birds like the Superb Starling means protecting our future.
As a BirdLife International partner in Tanzania, we are using birds as indicator of ecosystem health and a tool for nature conservation.
