The Starling Family. 79 



beaks and legs, but THE MALABAR MYNAH, Sturnia 

 malabarica, is grey and brown. It has nested in 

 confinement in more than one aviary, but is rather 

 quarrelsome during the breeding season. 



THE ROSE-COLOURED PASTOR, Pastor roseus, is a 

 Starling with a light pink breast and a black crest; 

 its habitat is India, but not infrequently it makes 

 migratory incursions into Central Europe, and has 

 even, it is said, occasionally visited our shores ; but 

 I fancy the two or three specimens that have been 

 shot here had escaped from aviaries, and were not 

 emigrants of their own free will and accord. 



It requires the same treatment as our native repre- 

 sentative of the family.
