Ha ha! Fabulous set of pics. It's a classic scene with these birds. Jimena please update the ID. Arun is correct and this is called the Indian mynah here in Aus. Also pics 4 and 5 are duplicated and you could delete them. Thanks.

They were on our backyard making lots of noise . They seem to be two couples fighting for territory. We normally see just one couple of this birds going around on our backyard. But this time they were 4. There was no food. At least we didn't see anything. Amazing how they fight.

What's the story on this great series? I'm curious if they're fighting for territory/food or just playing around.
