Flores Myna

Gracupica floweri

The Flores Myna (Gracupica floweri) is a medium-sized starling found on the Indonesian island of Flores. It has a glossy black plumage with a striking white patch on the wings and a bright yellow bill. These birds are known for their melodious calls and are often found in small flocks. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. The Flores Myna is known for its acrobatic flight and agile movements in dense vegetation. Due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, the species is facing a decline in population.
