[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the Bali Mynah (Leucopsar rothschildi), he is a very beautiful bird and when singing he really puts up a show.


The Bali Starling is critically endangered, hovering immediately above extinction in the wild for several years now (BirdLife International 2006). The last stronghold of the species is at Bali Barat National Park; about 1,000 individuals are believed to be held in captivity legally. In fact, the Bali Starling is so much in danger that that national park has been set up just for the Bali Starling's survival. The wild population was at an all-time low of just 6 birds in 2001, after the late-1990s wild population of 3-4 dozen was reduced by poachers for the illegal pet trade.

Hi Everton,

And another new bird for me! A beautiful face with that lovely blue eye ring. Nice colors and details. I love the pose as he looks off into the distance.
