Not quite what you asked for, we saw the starling at Bali Bird Park and then next morning at a shop in Ubud the owner had one in a cage - evidently they went down to a wild population of 20. We stayed in an upstairs room at the rear of the Pertiwi Bungalows at Ubud and were rewarded by good views of finches in the trees around sunset. We were also fortunate to see two Balinese squirrels from the deck of the Suspension Bridge Cafe in Ubud. Take your binoculars with you, rather than a book if you're heading into the hills!!
