Description
The white-necked myna (Streptocitta albicollis) is a large, long-tailed species of starling in the family Sturnidae. Due to its superficial resemblance to a magpie, it has been referred to as the Celebes magpie or Sulawesi magpie in the past. It is endemic to forests on Sulawesi and adjacent smaller islands in Indonesia. There are two subspecies: the nominate from the southern part of Sulawesi has a yellow-tipped bill, and torquata from the northern part of the island has an all-black bill.

Feeding Habits
White-necked Myna predominantly consumes fruit, with a smaller intake of invertebrates and rare consumption of small vertebrates, such as lizards. They forage mostly in the middle canopy, preferring perches on dead, isolated trees. Often seen flying across open areas, white-necked Myna can be found in pairs or small groups, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks.
Habitat
The white-necked Myna typically inhabits primary and secondary forests with a preference for dense canopy coverage. This species shows adaptability to various forest types but is rarely found in extensively modified habitats or plantations. It is commonly seen across broader tropical regions where such forest environments are prevalent.
