Common Myna by ingrid01

Common Myna

This is a "common Myna". We have a lot of them and I do not like them because they are quite aggressive.
However, when I had time to go outside today around 11am it was quite hot (my phone says 39C/102F, feels like 47C/115F) and there was not a lot of wildlife around, except for this bird. Because I was about to post this picture, I read a little about them and found out that they are on the invasive species list. So, conclusion: they look pretty with their yellow, but that is it.
For the 30 days wild in June.
Fantastic timing

Great photo and a magnificent bird. We don't have myna birds here but we are being pestered by one particular magpie. The nest is nearby and the male comes up very close to us squawking and hitting it's beak on the fence to warn us off as soon as we go in the garden. It also swooped at me the other day and so I can't wait for the fledglings to fly the nest and for dad to relax a bit! 😆

@momamo Yep en het wordt elke dag een beetje warmer! Dit is ons eerste jaar hier en normaal ontvluchten bijna alle expats de warmte, maar dat zit er dit jaar niet in. Gelukkig werken de airco's goed ;)

@serendypyty - as far as I know these don't even have nests close by to protect... They are just obnoxious... ;(

@monicac @onewing @kwind - they scream a lot, so the timing was not really hard ;)
