"Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh!"
"Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh!"
if you follow the sound, will find baby bird asking for food...
So that day, I found a juvenile Javan Myna noisily asking for food...
"Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh!"
"Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh! Chrrrrrhhh!"
the juvenile is a little greyer than the adult and the eyes also more to grey than yellow. The yellowing at the base of its beak still present.
waiting a while, came the adult, The adult have blacker appearance, with grey underparts and its eyes is yellow.
the juvenile open its beak wide!
and its fed something like regurgitated food
Javan Myna
Acridotheres javanicus
for a bird so common in Malaysia, it funny that it doesnt have an official malay name. Tiong Jawa is not taken, well how about that?

great find, difficult to get a shot like this i.e. feeding the young. Well done.
