	Bali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bali is a tourist destination and, along with Java, known for its highly developed arts, including dance, sculpture, painting, leather and metalworking, and music, especially that played on the gamelan.
		In 1946 the Dutch constituted Bali as one of the 13 administrative districts of the newly proclaimed Republic of East Indonesia, a rival state to the Republic of Indonesia which was proclaimed and headed by Sukarno and Hatta.
		The population of Bali is 3,151,000 (at 2005).

	The Paradox Of The Bali Starling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In 1993, there were only 34 Bali Starlings (Leucopsar rothschildi) left in the wild in Bali, and at last count that number has dwindled to 16, including 10 released by the Governor of Bali on December 24, 2001.
		The Starlings live in spacious aviaries and flourish on a wide variety of organic fruits and vegetables from the Estate's permaculture gardens and farm, embellished with ant eggs, meal worms and other delicacies.
		If Bali Starlings were widely bred in captivity collectors could buy the birds legally and they could also be released back into the wild, allowing natural populations to grow.

	The Bali Starling
		Visitors to Bali who leave the tourist enclaves and venture into the picture-postcard countryside quickly discover that the Balinese live in close harmony with their surroundings and have a deep and enduring understanding of nature.
		Bali's only endemic bird, the Bali Starling is an important symbol and has been adopted as the National Bird and is widely represented in art.
		In years past the few outside agencies that have attempted to provide for the continued survival of the Bali Starling in the wild have met with little success, their efforts being thwarted by the authorities, who naturally resent what they considered to be unwarranted outside interference.

	The Bali Starling
		Also known as a starling or grackle, this critically endangered species was first described and placed in its own genus by Stresemann in 1912.
		Certainly, practical experience suggests that toucans and starlings can be irreversibly damaged by high iron diets in only a few months: their lives are shortened and their chances of breeding greatly reduced.
		Oocysts from Bali mynahs will be given orally to superb starlings to see if they undergo a complete life-cycle, or whether they simply pass through the gastrointestinal tract unchanged.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Eastern Java-Bali rain forests (IM0113)
		Truly born of fire, the islands of Java and Bali are the result of the subduction and remelting of the Australian-Indian Ocean tectonic plate beneath the Eurasian tectonic plate at the Java trench.
		The climate in eastern Java and Bali is drier than in the western part of Java; therefore, the lowland forests are predominantly moist deciduous forests, with semi-evergreen rain forest along the south coast and dry deciduous forest along the north coast.
		Limestone forests on Java and Bali have basal areas similar to those of other lowland forest types and apparently contain no plant endemics, but because they often grow on steep slopes of shallow soils, their growth pattern is affected.

	To all those interested in the survival of the Bali Starling in the wild
		Although the Bali Starling Breeding Centre continues to operate there is little enthusiasm amongst the staff as they too realise that there is little hope in a successful end to their efforts.
		No successful breeding of Bali Starlings has taken place there and the purported live-cam video being shown of BS breeding is indeed only a loop film of the previous attempt in July last year.
		Previous reports that Bali Starlings cannot survive heavy rain are based upon a few observations of birds that became wet during a storm, resulting in fatality but surely this was not a scientific study and has never been proven in general.
