![]() Apart from India and Africa, these birds have also been widely introduced in New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. They can be found in almost all kinds of places except for dense forests. Mynahs tend to get aggressive and drive away other birds. These gregarious birds are largely black or brown in color and distinguished by white patches on wings, yellow legs, and yellow bill. A mynah is a messy bird and their droppings are frequently loose (even projectile) which renders them not so desirable as a pet bird. They love to hop around and eat huge amounts of moist food. ![]() These social birds can be quite easily tamed when they are very young and need a larger than usual cage since they are highly active birds. The Indian literature describes the mynah bird in several different ways like kalapriya (one who loves to fight and argue), peeta netra (one whose eyes are yellow), chitranetra (picturesque eyes), and peeta pad (one who has yellow legs). ![]() The word mynah has origins in the Hindi word “maina” and Sanskrit “madana” which denotes a “fun-loving and delightful” being. Bird enthusiasts find myna delightful as it is an intelligent and chatty bird and they consider it almost close to gray parrots who is the best avian mimic of human speech. The mynah bird is found in abundance in India, Africa, and parts of Southeast Asia and they are known for their outgoing and friendly disposition along with their ability to mimic all kinds of sounds. Do you want to have a bird at your place that can chat and make your home a lively place? If so then mynah bird is the one you would want to get home.
