Plumagem negra com reflexo metálico verde e roxo, com pontas brancas no inverno. Voo em bandos enormes (murmuração) é espetáculo notável. Excelente imitador.

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.
