Common Myna

Birds

The common myna, also called the Indian myna, is an omnivorous, strongly territorial bird of open woodland native to Asia that has adapted extremely well to urban environments. Its range has expanded so rapidly that in 2000 the IUCN Species Survival Commission named it one of the world's most invasive species, one of only three birds on the list of the hundred worst invasive alien species, and in Australia, where it threatens native ecosystems, it was named the country's most important pest problem in 2008.
