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.
Bali Myna
The Bali Myna is a Critically Endangered starling endemic to the island of Bali, Indonesia, weighing about 92.5g with a wingspan of 26.2cm. It has snow-white plumage with black wingtips and a vivid blue eye patch, and is one of the rarest birds in the world. Trapping for the cage-bird trade has devastated wild populations, though captive breeding and reintroduction programs are ongoing.
