 Description:
White with black tips on wings and tail. Bare facial skin is
blue. Lacy crest more pronounced in males and erected during
displays. The sexes look alike.
Status:
Endemic to the island of Bali, this species never maintained
a large population and is now endangered. The species is
currently protected by international law. Zoos are working
together to manage this species in a cooperative effort
called a Species Survival Plan (SSP). The decline in numbers
was due to human encroachment on its habitat and the pet
trade.
