Awww.
They are adorable. My uncle had a mynah bird but it didn't like his wife so he had to get rid of it. I never met the bird but don't know what happened.

No. Sadly I never met the bird and it isn't talked about much. My dad told me about it when I wanted a bird. Shortly afterwards I got Pumpkin.

I think Mynah's have personality. They look like fun. There was an issue of birdtalk that talked about them. I'll see if I can find it.

Judging by our parrots, I believe that mynahs are probably very intelligent also.

I'm sure they are. All birds are intelligent. All around Ohio people are begining to hate Great Blue Herons for stelaing fish. The herons go to the koi ponds and catch a koi and come back later for more. I think it is amazong how a heron can figure out in a koi pond the fish can't get away and they are bigger so I get a better meal and don't have to work hard for it.

There is a solution though. Don't have a koi pond and if you must have it indoors(like in a sunroom) Or have it in a greehouse.

I don't know if anyone lives in a city, but I saw on the discovery channel that birds that live in cities will take nuts that they cannot crack and drop them off electrical wires over a cross walk. After the cars stop for the traffic light, they fly down and get their crushed nuts.

WOW!!! The intellect of these birds is to much to fathom. They are so intelligent but get a bad rap as being stupid disposable creatures.
