Mimi Plush Mynah Bird
£6.50£4.50 Buy Mimi is a Rothschild Mynah (Leucopsar rothschildi), discovered in Bali in 1911 by avian expert Dr Erwin Stresemann.

Rothschild Mynahs are critically endangered (there are more giant pandas in the wild), but conservation projects, like the one run at Waddesdon Aviary, help to preserve this rare and beautiful bird. -
