About These Birds
Common Myna
The common myna has been named one of the world's 100 worst invasive species by the IUCN. Originally from South Asia, it has been introduced to tropical regions worldwide where it outcompetes native birds for nest cavities. Despite its invasive status, the myna is an intelligent and charismatic bird capable of mimicking human speech.
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.
