Day 3 of January extinct birds - the hoopoe starling or Réunion starling

These guys are so so pretty, and their crest was also mobile and expressive like a cockatoo's. People previously thought they are related to the hoopoe, but turned out they are a starling, hence the name. The island of Réunion saw many extinctions in the 18-19th centuries after europeans arrived, and the hoopoe starling is one of them along with an endemic ibis, night heron, owl, parrots and even a giant tortoise.

Reference photo by Fraser Simpson

It's quite poetically sad that I missed Earth Day because I was in college in the city. I'd much rather be with the birds.
