This species has a sturdy compact body,a round tail,and erect feathers on its forehead. The Bail Mynah is the only native bird on Bali. It is is a critically endangered bird because of habitat destruction by the timber harvest,illegal bird trade,poaching,and nest site competition with the Black-Winged Starling. At this time there are about 13 -14 Bali Mynah left in the wild. This subadult was photographed at the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson,Arizona | |
