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.
Black-bellied Starling
The Black-bellied Starling is a glossy, medium-sized starling of East African forests and woodland edges, with males showing iridescent greenish-black plumage and a distinctive black belly. It ranges from Kenya and Tanzania south to Malawi and Zimbabwe. It forages in small flocks on fruits, berries, and invertebrates, often in the canopy or mid-level of moist forests.
