Birds

1. Birds-Myna-2

2. Nas Hill Myna
The Nias hill myna or Nias
myna (Gracula robusta ) is
a member of the starling
family. It is an endemic
resident of Nias and other
nearby islands off western
Sumatra. Description[edit].
This large, stocky and
superficially crow-like
myna is the largest of the
hill mynas and may be the
largest living species in
starling family.

3. Yellow faced myna
The yellow-faced myna grows to a
length of between 23 and 26 cm (9
and 10 in) and is one of the largest
species of starling. The head has short
black feathers glossed bluish-purple on
the forehead and at the base of the
upper mandible, but most of the head
is bare yellowish-orange skin. This
forms a wide patch around and behind
the eye and includes a bib on the chin
and the sides of the throat. The neck,
central throat and mantle are black
glossed with purple while the back,
wings, breast and belly are black
glossed with green. The rump is white,
the lower belly is golden-yellow and
the undertail-coverts are white. The
short, squarish tail is black. The iris is
usually yellow, but in some parts of
New Guinea may be brown. The bill
and legs are yellow.

4. Sri lanka hill
myna
This passerine is typically found in
forest and cultivation. The Sri Lanka
myna builds a nest in a hole. The
normal clutch is two eggs.
These 25 cm long birds have green-
glossed black plumage, purple-tinged
on the head and neck. There are large
white wing patches, which are obvious
in flight. The strong legs are bright
yellow, and there are yellow wattles on
the nape.
The different shape and position of the
wattles and the stouter orange-red bill
distinguish this species from
the Southern hill myna, which also
occurs in Sri Lankan forests. The sexes
are similar, but juveniles have a duller
bill.
Like most starlings, the Sri Lanka myna
is fairly omnivorous,
eating fruit, nectar and insects.

5. Golden crested
myna
The golden-crested
myna (Ampeliceps
coronatus) is a species in
the starling and myna famil
y Sturnidae. It is found
from north-eastern India
through Indochina and has
been introduced to
the British Indian Ocean
Territory. Its main habitat is
subtropical and tropical
moist lowland forest, but it
is also found in heavily
degraded former forest

6. Southern hill

9. White-necked myna
The white-necked
myna (Streptocitta albicollis) is a
large, long-tailed species
of starling in the family Sturnidae.
Due to its superficial resemblance
to a magpie, it has been referred
to as the Celebes
magpie or Sulawesi magpie in the
past. It is endemic to forests
on Sulawesi and adjacent smaller
islands in Indonesia. There are
two subspecies;
the nominate from the southern
part of Sulawesi has a yellow-
tipped bill, and torquata from the
northern part of the island has an
all-black bill.

The Apo
myna (Basilornis
mirandus) is a species
of starling in the
starling
family Sturnidae. The
species is also known
as the Mount Apo
starling or the Mount
Apo king starling. The
specific name
is Latin for wonderful
or strange.[
