Helmeted Myna Basilornis galeatus 2009 IUCN Red List Category (as evaluated by BirdLife International - the official Red List Authority for birds for IUCN): Near Threatened Justification This species has a highly restricted and fragmented range, and it is likely to have a moderately small global population size.

The preponderance of starlings of the genus Aplonis on this list of threatened species is primarily a result of the diversity of this group and the cause of that diversity: isolation on small islands of the South Pacific and Indonesia. With limited habitat, bird populations are also limited. More
