Myna

Myna, several birds of the starling family, native to Indian and Asian forests but dispersed to the Pacific tropics. These noisy birds adapt well to living near people and livestock. The hill or talking myna (Gracula religiosa) is kept as a pet and can be trained to mimic the human voice. About 12–15 in (30–38 cm), this glossy black bird has yellow feet, wattles, and beak.
