An invasive bird in my part of the world, introduced to our country many years ago, as you mentioned they do know how to make themselves at home.
Intelligent bird some cage then teach to mimic sounds, a nightmare if you have a large tree close that they roost in, pretty noisy aren't they?
Intelligent for sure! They do have a noisy reputation, but the crested mynahs here seem to be pretty quiet, actually. Maybe some mynahs behave differently! :)
Indian mynah arrived in South Africa in 1902, captive birds that escaped, now throughout the country in great numbers. Part of the Starling family of which we have six resident in our country plus the Common Mynah making it seven, most definitely like to be heard above the rest.
