Finding Bali Starling in Indonesia

Looking for the bali starling in Indonesia? Start with Bali Barat National Park, where access and habitat make a sighting more likely than a chance roadside glimpse.

Bali Barat National Park in West Bali is the place to begin. The last wild stronghold of the Bali starling, alongside rusa deer, langurs, and over 160 other bird species. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.

Indonesia context: Seventeen thousand islands, two biogeographic realms, and more endemic species than almost anywhere on Earth.

In Indonesia, look especially around dry forest, open woodland, and coastal scrub. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
