Long-tailed Starling

The Long-tailed Starling is a large starling, ranging from 28–41 cm in length, including the tail. There are no differences between the sexes. The tail is very long, as long or longer than the body in the nominate race, although in the race brevicauda it is only two-thirds as long as the body.

The Long-tailed Starling is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Long-tailed Starling (Aplonis magna) is a species of starling in the family Sturnidae. It is endemic to the Schouten Islands off New Guinea in Indonesia, an important area of bird endemism. The species was once treated as part of a superspecies with the Shining Starling. There are two subspecies, the nominate race, which occurs on Biak, and brevicauda, which is found on Numfor Island.
