English: Jungle myna (Acridotheres fuscus) on a roof just north of Coonoor in western Tamil Nadu province of southern India.
Mynas are birds of the starling family (Sturnidae). This group of passerine birds occur naturally only in southern and eastern Asia. Several species have been introduced to areas like North America, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, especially the Common myna which is often regarded as an invasive species.
Mynas are medium-sized passerines with strong feet. Their plumage is typically dark, often brown, although some species have yellow head ornaments. Their flight is strong and direct, and they are gregarious. Their preferred habitat is fairly open country, and they eat insects and fruit. Several species live around habitation, and are effectively omnivores. Most species nest in holes. Some species have become well-known for their imitative skills; the Common hill myna is one of these.
