A glossy black forest myna with bright yellow bare skin and wattles on the head, orange-yellow bill, and a loud, varied repertoire of whistles and calls.
Famous for its remarkable ability to mimic human speech, making it a heavily targeted species for the cage-bird trade in forested parts of Borneo.
