The Bali myna is restricted to the northwest Bali (and its offshore islands) in Indonesia, [1] [9] where it is the island's only endemic vertebrate species. In 1991, the bird was designated the faunal emblem of Bali. Featured on the Indonesian 200 rupiah coin, its local name is jalak Bali (Balinese script: ᬚᬮᬓ᭄ᬩᬮᬶ).
Bali myna in the cage Paradisaea apoda in the bird park. Bali Bird Park (Indonesian: Taman Burung Bali) is a tourist attraction in Bali, Indonesia. It is located at the Gianyar Regency and has an area of 2,000 square metres (0.49 acres). The park houses more than 1,300 birds representing more than 250 species in an enclosed aviary.
Its Indonesian name is jalak suren. Its plumage is black and white, with a black collar. Its plumage is black and white, with a black collar. It was found in most of Java and Bali (but has been potentially extirpated from there since the mid-2010s) and formerly in southern Sumatra (where it is known to have been extirpated since the 1990s).

It weighs 2.38 g (0.084 oz), is 2.3 mm (0.091 in) wide, and has a 25 mm (0.98 in) diameter. Its obverse features the national emblem Garuda Pancasila and the lettering "2003" and "BANK INDONESIA," while its reverse features an image of the Bali mynah (Leucopsar rothschildi) as well as the lettering "JALAK BALI" (BALI MYNAH) and "200 RUPIAH."
The official mascot of the First Asian Beach Games was the Bali starling (Leucopsar rothschildi), locally known as "jalak Bali", the official mascot of Bali and a bird species endemic to the island. The bird symbolizes Bali with all its uniqueness and serves as a reminder that the bird, like Bali, is beautiful, yet sacred.
The species has declined, however, for much the same reasons as the Bali myna, principally collection for the caged-bird trade. [5] The black-winged myna is one of the most popular species among collectors; in recent years the number of birds entering the trade has declined as they have become increasingly rare in the wild.
Other ornamentation includes elongated tail feathers and brightly coloured bare areas on the face. These colours can be derived from pigments, or as in the Bali myna, structural colour, caused by light scattering off parallel collagen fibers. The irises of many species are red and yellow, although those of younger birds are much darker.
West Bali National Park (Indonesian: Taman Nasional Bali Barat) is a national park located in Buleleng Regency and Jembrana Regency, on the west point of Bali, Indonesia. The park covers around 190 square kilometres (73 sq mi), some 82% of which is on land and the remainder at sea. [3] This is approximately 3% of Bali's total land area.
