Two wild-caught birds estimated to have hatched in 1961 died in 1986. Reproduction Little is known about the reproduction habits of Bali mynahs in the wild. Nesting in cavities in trees, they line their nests with leaves, stems of dried plants and feathers. In captivity, mynahs may have several clutches of eggs each year, usually with three eggs per clutch. Up to three eggs are laid with two or three nestlings per clutch.
Eggs are bluish-green in color.
Both sexes incubate the eggs for about 13-14 days. Young fledge in 15-25 days, and continue to be fed by the parents for a few weeks after fledging. Young molt into adult plumage within a few months after leaving the nest. This is most likely due to the abundant availability of insects during this time of the year, which is when the young hatch. The Bali mynah is beautiful to behold.
