Common Myna

They are considered an invasive species and a pest here in Australia, and that's a pity cos I really like these birds. One thing I try to notice is how territorial they are, and where their territories are. I see these guys at the complex where I work, and it has a lot of large trees and a wetland area. Myna's live on one side of the wetland pond, and Australian Miners live on the other. There is a street light pole where one territory ends and the other begins. In over 10 years I have never seen the oppositions bird on the opposing side, and I have never seen them fight, ever! Strange. I can listen to Common Myna's all day - they have the most amazing vocal range of chirps, trills, clicks, and a variety of pretty songs. Pest or not, I like them :)
