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.
