When we were in Adalaj to visit the ancient well near Ahmedabad we could spot several common birds in the vicinity. One of them is Indian Mynah.
It has brown body with a black head. It has a yellow bill. In flight it shows large white wing patches.
It is an omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct. It has adapted extremely well to urban environments.
They are accomplished scavengers, and they feed on insects, fruits and vegetables and even fledgling sparrows.

Great shots of the Myna bird.I have seen it in Australia. Have a lovely weekend.
Interesting! I would love to see some Adalaj shots too Rajesh :)
lots of great info... but you didn't mention the inquisitive face that bird has. So pretty.
Very nice looking Mynah.
Nice bird!
Nice shots. We need some around here, there are five sparrow nests wedged into the attic vent.

Looks to a beautiful bird.
We don't have mynah birds here in England, just their relative the Common Starling.
He's a beautiful bird! I love the orange of his eyes and beak against the sooty black of his head.
Lovely images of Mynah.
Wow...love the yellow eye patch!! Very attractive bird.
interesting aspect
Beautiful images.
A very pretty bird. I like the yellow around his eyes.
Gorgeous bird!
I think they are quite pretty. They've adapted well in other countries as well (Australia, or so I hear) and we have even seen them near the Everglades in Florida US. (I think they were pets that were set free).
Beautiful shots, I bet he steals stuff like his European cousins do. Thanks for sharing :)
Superb capture on mynah! This seems like jungle species.
