Talk:Common myna

message: The Common Myna is essentially established in south and south-central Florida, however a lack of field work and ( = previous likely due to...) a bias against exotic birds in some sections of the SoFla ornithological community means it will likely be some time before their establishment is considered "official" and they go on the Florida Ornithological Society checklist.
To find them with a nearly 100% guarantee of success, drive around Homestead and check shopping-center signs and the Burger King parking lot. :-) - Aerobird 23:17, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I have never heard of common mynas (or Indian Mynas as they are known locally) swooping as claimed in the article, nor have I seen them attack other birds. And those comments do not belong under the heading of Australia anyway. I am a lemon 05:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I raise common minahs on Big Island Hawaii and have witnessed them swooping on Mongoose twice over few months time. They attack Mongoose by flying behind them as the mongoose runs , the Minah birds peck them in the head .  Minahbirdman (talk) 06:09, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

message: These birds seem to take great care to help the sick and injured members of their groups.  Has anyone ever noticed this?  While they certainly compete for dominance, once they form large flocks, they can be quite loyal to the group, and will help feed and forage for members that are too old or unable to do it themselves.

message: I would like bring everyone's attention to the possibility that 'BurungTiongGembalaKerbau.jpg', as shown in this page, might not be a Common Myna, since it lacks the yellow patch behind its eye. I trust that some other person more qualified than me can make certain of it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.121.71.249 (talk) 05:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
