Bali Starling - Leucopsar rothschildi
The critically endangered Bali Starling, also known as the Bali Myna and Rothschild's Mynah, is a stocky myna, almost wholly white with a long, drooping crest, and black tips on the wings and tail. The bird has blue bare skin around the eyes, greyish legs and a yellow bill. The Bali Starling was discovered in 1912 and named after Baron Rothschild, a zoologist and author. Once widespread throughout the islands, in 1988 only 14 birds remained in the wild, mainly due to capture for the pet trade.
This is a captive bred bird.
