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.

Looks to a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have mynah birds here in England, just their relative the Common Starling.
ReplyDeleteHe's a beautiful bird! I love the orange of his eyes and beak against the sooty black of his head.

ReplyDeleteI 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).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, I bet he steals stuff like his European cousins do. Thanks for sharing :)
