Description:

The Black-collared Starling is a species of starling in the Sturnidae family. It is found in Brunei, Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. (information from Wikipedia)

Notes:

This bird was spotted at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and my friend who works in the aviary noted that there are very few specimens of this species being held in the United States.
