D: D:
It is hovering immediately above extinction in the wild for several years now. The last stronghold of the species is at Bali Barat National Park/
about 1,000 individuals are believed to be held in captivity legally. In fact, the Bali Starling is so much in danger that that national park has been set up just for the Bali Starling's survival.
/The wild population was at an all-time low of just 6 (!!!!!) birds in 2001, after the late-1990s wild population of 3-4 dozen was reduced by poachers for the illegal pet trade.
the number of captive birds bought on black market is estimated to be twice the number of legally-acquired individuals in the captive breeding program.
Extra: It is distributed and endemic to the island of Bali in Indonesia, where it is the island's only surviving endemic vertebrate species. This rare bird was discovered in 1910. Bali's other endemic, the Bali Tiger, was declared extinct in 1937. /
1 bird hatched in this zoo this year
