A Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi a.k.a. Rothschild’s Mynah or Bali Myna) Unfortunately, this gorgeous little critter is currently on the critically endangered species list, in 1984 there were only 140 of them left in the wild dwindeling down to about 14 in 1990 and with an all time low of 6 (six!) wild birds remaining in 2001.

Thanks to conservation and release programmes there is some hope that they may slowly recover with an estimated 24 wild birds today (and an estimated 1,000 in captivity), which is a very fragile state for a species to say the least.

Please stop and think about that for a second ... and please don't buy caged birds.
