Réunion Starling Colouring Page

Réunion Starling (Fregilupus varius). Country of origin: Réunion, now an overseas department of France. Extinction: It disappeared in the mid-1800s, with 1857 commonly cited among the last records. Cause: Hunting, forest destruction and introduced predators contributed. Special characteristics: Also called the Hoopoe Starling, it had a conspicuous forward-curving crest, a long slender curved bill and contrasting wing patches. How to Colour: Leave the head and belly pale, use grey-brown on the back, darker tones on the wings and yellowish colour on the bill. Follow the forward-curving crest with careful individual strokes.
