Indian Myna



I keep discovering more about common birds by observing them during their flights. Although there is an inconspicuous white patch on the wings of Indian Myna, when you observe them when perched, it becomes visible under the wings prominently during their flight. This surprised me.

I have noticed them ion pairs and in a group in our garden. That seems to be their pattern. A few pairs become party. They are often together during their flights.

From April to September, they nest. They usually look for holes in tree trunks, building walls,  or roofs,  to make their nest.

Bird lovers tell me that birds make their nest in properties which are hospitable. Birds do not like tree felling, fire, insecticide spraying, bursting crackers or even loud barking of dogs!

To make a garden nesting friendly is therefore a gift we can offer to birds!
