Philippine glossy starling


Scientific Name : Aplonis paneyensis
The parents of this bird nested in a ventilation hole on the first floor of my shop for many years.
This bird was rejected by its parents and was rescued by my neighbour. This bird is now about 5 years old. It has a fractured leg and a pair of deformed wings. It can still fly but only for a few feet.
This bird is now very tame and delighted the children and visitors every time it was let out of its cage.
