Title: World's rarest bird Written by: duddy on Nov 3, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_03_11_13_12_41_39.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14254) The Bali myna (Leucopsar rothschildi) is one of the rarest birds in the world. Thanks to poaching, their wild population hit an all-time low of just six individuals in 2001, but their numbers have since increased to around 50 wild mature birds. And just this month, the Bali Starling Conservation Project, which is home to 100 Bali mynas, has celebrated the birth of four healthy chicks to add to their breeding program. |
