very similar to Indian Myna. We school girls had a rhyme for them One for sorrow , Two for joy, three for letter , four for toy. five for silver , six for gold, seven for a secret that is never to be told. there are two in this picture!!!! Hope fully they will bring you a lot of joy!

Very common in Singapore, and very entertaining. When it's really hot they goose step around with their beaks open. One of my favorite local birds.
