Bali Starling Jalak Putih Bird

The Bali starling is the most beautiful of all the mynahs. It is a thick-set, starling-sized bird with snow white plumage and an elegant long white crest.










The bare skin on the face is bright blue, finishing in a point at the sides of the neck. The tip of its broad tail and the tips of the flight feathers are black, and the beak, feet and legs are bluish-grey.










Bali starlings forage in open forest and grasslands searching for fruits and insects. Water is often hard to find in such places, so juices from ripe fruits are especially important. They are active during the day.









In the wild Bali starlings live to five years, but in captivity they can still breed when they are over twelve years old.









Three or four eggs are laid in a nest of twigs in a hollow, often an old woodpecker or barbet hole, or fork of a tree (in captivity a nest box is provided). The eggs are turquoise in colour and hatch after about 14 days; the chicks fledge in about three weeks. The young are mature at 2-3 years and may live for up to 15 years

Agung Mountain Bali

Volcanoes erupted and created Bali.









It's a nub in the Pacific Ocean, only 6000 square kilometers, yet fertile volcanic soil allows several rice harvests per year and supports a dense population, over 3 million people.








We rented a jeep and set out to find out what else lay beyond the surfing and seediness of Kuta.









Narrow roads, the island highways, wind through a lush landscape of hillsides covered by intricate rice terraces, swaying palms, and rioting vegetation.









Tall pillars, carved with Hindu motifs, mark the beginnings and ends of villages along the road.









The houses almost touch the ashpalt, red shingled eaves overhang the place where sidewalks would be if there were any; people, animals, and everything else uses the road as if they're pathways, nevermind the speeding vehicles that race and hoot as they pass. Life fights for space on this island, it's a full time job to secure breathing room.
