About These Birds
Atoll Starling
The Atoll Starling is a Near Threatened medium-sized starling found on islands of the Solomon archipelago in the southwestern Pacific. Weighing about 72g with a wingspan of 24cm, it has glossy dark plumage and forages in small flocks for fruit and insects in coastal forest and scrub. Island isolation makes it vulnerable to habitat change.
Apo Myna
The Apo Myna is a near-threatened starling endemic to Mount Apo and surrounding mountains in Mindanao, Philippines, weighing about 109 grams with a wingspan near 24 cm. It inhabits montane forest interiors where it forages for fruit and invertebrates. Its restricted range and ongoing forest loss in Mindanao pose ongoing threats to the species.
