Common Myna

The Common Myna which originates from India is less easier to see than the Javan Myna, not that they are not abundant here. From my observation, the Common Myna or Tiong Gembala Kerbau in Malay, often forage in pairs rather than flocking like the Javan Myna.

This Common Myna is tugging at the dried vegetation,maybe it is collecting nesting material

Sometimes can see the the baldies, maybe old birds, I dont know..

but its eyes are beautiful, like gems put in a circular manner.

    Never seen this old bird.
    But I had seen them fighting, that one of the looser lost part of its scalp feather.
