Rodrigues Starling Colouring Page

Rodrigues Starling (Necropsar rodericanus). Country of origin: Rodrigues, part of Mauritius. Extinction: It disappeared during the 1700s; 1726 is associated with a historical account, not a proven final death date. Cause: Introduced predators and habitat alteration are likely causes. Special characteristics: Its strong, slightly curved bill, sturdy feet and contrasting pale body and dark wings distinguish this robust starling. How to Colour: Historical accounts suggest a pale body with darker wings and tail, although details are uncertain. Leave much of the body cream-white, add brown-grey wings, and colour the stout bill carefully.
