Bali Mynahs
Bali, Indonesia

In the year following my return from Bali, the research I completed there on the behavior of different pairs of endangered Bali starlings took shape in the form of my Senior Thesis, serving to complete my degree in Psychobiology from Arcadia. It was titled “An observational study of the social and solitary behaviors of three pairs of Bali mynahs (Leucopsar rothschildi) at two breeding facilities in Bali, Indonesia,” and in addition to a complete research paper, it also consisted of a more condensed poster version. The Research link contains the final poster, and the thorough overview of my original research, results, and conclusions. There is still more I would love to do if I can ever manage to get back to Bali, such as studying in greater detail some of the larger social groups of Bali mynahs. I am afraid, though, that if I ever do get the opportunity to return to that amazing, beautiful, magical little island, I may never want to leave. Leaving the first time was hard enough. The photographs hardly do it any justice.
