More than 20,000 rosy starlings have settled on the grasslands of Hami in northwest China's Xinjiang, where they are nesting, resting and feeding. With their black heads, glossy dark wings and pale pink-orange bodies, the birds create a striking sight across the landscape. Rosy starlings mainly feed on locusts, forming a natural barrier against grassland pests. In recent years, Hami has built artificial nesting sites to attract the birds, offering them a safer habitat while helping curb locust outbreaks.
