In Indonesia's tourist haven Bali, bird sellers help the endangered but ever graceful mynah make a comeback


BABAHAN (Indonesia), June 4 (AP): Tossing flowing crests back and forth, three snow-white Bali mynahs share a branch, squawking and looking around with the trademark blue patches around their eyes catching sunlight. Minutes later, four more join - a sight that would have been impossible in the wild two decades ago.

But by working with bird breeders and sellers - the very group that contributed to the prized birds becoming critically endangered - conservationists are releasing them in Bali province, hoping to boost the wild population.
