the ó_ò endangered Bali Myna...♪ ♫ wildilife from bali ♫ by bocavermelha-l.b..

... meet the bali mynah - leucopsar rothschildi - also known as rothschild’s mynah, bali myna or bali starling. this rare bird is one of the world's most critically endangered & threatened to survival birds. native to the island of bali in indonesia. its decline towards extinction has been caused by timber harvesting, the urbanization of the island and, by poaching, the illegal trapping for the caged-bird trade. those are among the greatest threat to the survival of the bali starling in the wild. In 1991, the Bali Starling was designated the faunal symbol of Bali. you can help save endangered species – don’t buy it!!

conheça o mainá de bali - leucopsar rothschildi - também conhecido como mainá de rothschild ou estorninho de bali. este pássaro raro, é um dos mais criticamente ameaçados de extinção e sobrevivência no planeta. nativo da ilha de bali na indonésia. seu declínio em direção à extinção foi causada pelo corte das árvores de lei, a urbanização da ilha e, a caça ilegal, o uso ilegal de armadilhas para a venda de pássaros-de-gaiolas. essas são as maiores ameaças à sobrevivência do estorninho de bali na vida selvagem. em 1991, o starling de bali foi designado o símbolo da fauna de bali.
você pode ajudar os animais ameaçados de extinção – não o compre!!

Beautiful. I like this one better since the bird looks somewhat pensive. More likely its listening out for something. Since it's endangered I'm surprised it's still for sale. For example, I don't know when was the last time I ever saw anything made of turtles or alligators in the US. It must be decades now.
