Hill Mynahs
[[ Hill Mynah ]]
[[ Kathy Butterfield ]]
{{ There
are 12 known sub-species of Hill Mynahs. }}
{{ All Hill mynahs are of
the genus "Gracula" and the species
"religiosa". Because of
deforestation,
trapping and smuggling, the number of Hill Mynahs is considerably less
than it once was and have been forced to live in lower
elevations.
Prized for their vocal skills for hundreds of years in their native
lands,
the Hill Mynahs reputation is legendary. }}
{{ They have
been described by many as the best talking bird in the world,
magnificent, magnetic and majestic, and the absolute champion of
mimics.
They can choose to imitate any human voice and speak in high or low
tones. }} |
