Bank Mynah
[[ The Bank
mynah is found in northern and central plains of India, from
southern Nepal and to eastern
Bangladesh. ]]
[[ Groups of Bank
Mynahs
nest in tunnels bored into river banks and earth cliffs and they don't
mind boring holes for nesting into any verticle earthen structure such
as cliff formations along bridges and canals. These sociable
birds
are quite at home stealing scraps from a busy market or running between
the hooves of grazing cattle. They are beneficial because they
eat
alot of insects but at the same time, they are considered pests because
they eat the crops too and do alot of damage to them. ]]
[[ This bird is
similar
to the Common Mynah in so many ways that it wouldn't be a surprise if
it
is also capable of mimicking words and phrases when raised from a
baby. These birds would probably be delightful pets, talking or not. ]] |
