Superb bird!!

Went to the American University of Sharjah campus today and saw a Superb bird.... infact a few Superb birds!!

The Superb Starling (Lamprotornis superbus) is a member of the starling family and is commonly be found in East Africa.
Surely one glimpse and you know why its called a Superb Starling..

Some internet research and I was sure that my first thought as I saw them was true - 'What are these guys doing here?'

There seems to be a breeding population of atleast 20 birds that have escaped from somewhere and have established a small colony here in the lawns of this campus in the middle of nowhere.
