I'm not a photographer - I enjoy these threads - just think they should be factually accurate. I'll refrain from input in future.
The 'melanopterus' at jurong - are hybrids between the three species formerly listed under melanopterus (tertius and tricolor). Even talk...
As far as I know the berlin specimens of asian pied starling were also floweri. The jurong Acridotheres 'melanopterus' are subspecific hybrids....

The zoo has screaming piha!
No more tinkerbirds at San Diego. All died out

White-throated Bee-eaters are a nice addition!
And kagus! When will the parrot house open?
I'm guessing died out? The last bird was over 20 years old.
