Leucopsar rothschildi (common name: Rothschild mynah)
A beautiful and extremely rare bird (it is estimated that only 6 pairs live in the wild now; most of the ones exhibited in zoos are captive bred) it is also a species showing a high degree of intraspecific aggression. On a hot Sunday morning, I saw two males displaying to each other (bottom photo) over the body of a dying one. Not a nice sight but nature can be really hard some times !
