    That's awesome! I guess that line in the species description, "it is now feared to be extinct in the wild", is in need of revision. Posted one year ago

      I think the conservation work is not focused on this 'ugly bird' as compared to the more beautiful Bali Starling, which now can be found in good numbers in the wild, at specific location. Posted one year ago

The Javan pied myna

The Javan pied myna is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. Its plumage is black and white, with a black collar. It was found in most of Java and Bali and formerly in southern Sumatra. Due to mass collection for the illegal wildlife trade and heavy pesticide use in the agricultural lands it used for feeding, it is now feared to be extinct in the wild.
