The Common Myna left and the Spotted Turtle dove right sunbathing on the roof of the garage.
I love the sound of the twittering Common Myna’s, they have a huge variety of twitters
and they are also able to imitate others bird vocals.
Another interesting story how they came to Australia.
The Common Myna is found naturally throughout Southeast Asia,
and was first introduced to Australia in Victoria between 1863 and 1872 into Melbourne’s market gardens to control insects.
The bird is likely to have spread to New South Wales (where it is currently most populous) at around the same time.
The bird was later introduced to Queensland as a predator of grasshoppers and cane beetles.
Now the Myna’s are considered a pest. ☺
