The Common Mynah or Myna is a common feature in India. Shot at Singapore, Jurong Bird Park, the bird seemed to be enjoying itself especially around people & food. The Mynah sadly is considered an invasive pest in Australia. It was introduced in Australia to control insects like grasshoppers and cane beetles in the late 1800 but soon it's population spread. Saw one this evening in Tasmania which prompted this post.
