Since 2013 there were sightings by fellow MNS birders at Bukit Jelutong Shah Alam. Again threesome of 2 adult birds and a juvenile were seen foraging on the ground near the Pavilion recently. Like the Red Whiskered Bulbul; Black-collared Starling are feral (KL Bird Park do have them) or released caged birds. Starlings are an adaptive bird which can propagate easily in a suburban environment. It is recorded as a Malaysian bird in www.birdlist.org. Hopefully, they can establish a good size colony and be actually recognised as a permanent resident of Malaysia.
However, there is place in the north that you can see these birds in the wild is at Chuping Perlis namely the ex-sugar plantation and refinery.
The Asian Pied Starlings are already making a mark at Port Kelang Golf Club Selangor. There is more than a dozen of these gregarious birds there as we speak. My blogging buddy just informed me that he has also seen a few Black Collared there too.
My take was in Xiamen China Dec 2014.
