Lord Howe Starling Colouring Page

Lord Howe Starling (Aplonis fusca hulliana). Country of origin: Lord Howe Island, Australia. Extinction: It disappeared in the early 1900s, with the last records around 1918-1919. Cause: Black rats introduced after a ship grounding in 1918 were a major cause of the rapid decline. Special characteristics: This island starling had a slender curved bill and a medium-length tail. It is often treated as the Lord Howe subspecies of the Tasman Starling. How to Colour: Use grey-brown plumage, subtle greenish highlights on the head and a bright orange-red eye. Add soft layers across the breast and colour carefully around the slender curved bill.
