About These Birds
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.

The Black-collared Starling is a large, boldly patterned starling of South and Southeast Asian open habitats, with white head, grey and white body, and a broad black collar. It ranges from Nepal and eastern India through Myanmar and southern China to Sumatra and Borneo, inhabiting open fields, forest edges, and urban areas. It feeds on insects, earthworms, fruits, and grain.
