Most zoos around the worldrun the Bali starlings breeding program, this is done to prevent extinction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of Bali starlings couples on breeding cages. Observation by using 7 pairs incages 1B 2B, 3B, 5B, 6B, 7B and 8B. The results showed that there were identified 16 daily activities, and can be classified into four main behaviors, namely motion less behavior, movement, breeding and ingested.

The breeding behaviour is to make a nest, lay eggs and incubate the eggs. The ingested behavior is eating, drinking, defecation and urinat ion. The analysis showed that frequency averages the movement’s behaviour 7421 time/tides with activities average 371,05 times/tides/day, whereas average relative frequency 14,48%. Frequency averages motion less behaviour around 39724 time/tides with activities average 1986,2 times/tides/day, whereas average relative frequency 77,48%. Frequency averages behaviour of bird breeding are 1141,71 time/tides with activities average 57,09 times/tides/day, whereas average relative frequency 2,23%.
