About These Birds
Hirtenmaina
Die Hirtenmaina wurde von der IUCN zu einer der 100 schlimmsten invasiven Arten der Welt erklärt. Ursprünglich aus Südasien stammend, wurde sie in tropische Regionen weltweit eingeführt, wo sie einheimischen Vögeln Nisthöhlen streitig macht. Trotz ihres invasiven Status ist die Hirtenmaina ein intelligenter und charismatischer Vogel, der menschliche Sprache nachahmen kann.
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.
