simply known as hill myna,
is the myna most

The Bali myna (Leucopsar
rothschildi), also known as
Rothschild's mynah, Bali
starling, or Bali mynah,
locally known as jalak Bali,
is a medium-sized stocky
myna, almost wholly white
with a long, drooping crest,
and black tips on the wings

6. Crested Myna
The crested myna (Acridotheres
cristatellus) is a species
of starling native to
southeastern China and Indochina
. Unlike other similar mynas, its
bill is dull whitish rather than
orange-yellow.
Around 1890, the crested myna
was introduced into
the Vancouver region of British
Columbia. It was initially
successful, reaching a population
in the thousands, without
spreading far from the Lower
Mainland. By the mid-twentieth
century, numbers began
declining, and the bird is now
extirpated in North America.
7. Pied Myna
The pied myna or Asian pied
starling (Gracupica contra) is
a species of starling found in
the Indian
subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
They are usually found in small
groups mainly on the plains and
low foothills. They are often seen
within cities and villages although
they are not as bold as
the common myna. They produce
a range of calls made up of liquid
notes. Several slight plumage
variations exist in the populations
and about five subspecies are
named.

9. Bank Myna
Bank myna (Acridotheres
ginginianus) is a myna found in
northern parts of South Asia. It is
smaller but similar in colouration
to the common myna but differs
in having a brick red bare skin
behind the eye in place of yellow.
It is greyer on the underside and
in this and in the presence of a
slight tuft of feathers bears some
resemblance to the jungle myna.
They are found in flocks on the
plains of northern and central
India, often within towns and
cities. Their range appears to be
extending southwards in India.
The name is derived from their
habit of nesting almost exclusively
in the earthen banks of rivers
where they excavate holes and
breed in large colonies.

myna (Acridotheres
grandis) is a species
of starling in the
