Oh the DRAMA!
#CommonMyna are indeed common on #Oahu. They're also quite territorial. Quite the kerfuffle!

A Common Myna I encountered in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. I had last seen these birds in Hawaii.

#1 of our best wildlife photos and moments of 2024 - common myna
Sometimes wildlife photography is just about the right timing and different perspectives. Like when this common myna looked down and it happened to be a little windy #commonmyna #birds #wildlifephoto #birdphoto

🌏 Common myna (Acridotheres tristis)

The common myna, or Indian myna (sometimes spelled mynah), is a medium-sized, stocky bird, typically dark brown with a glossy black head, yellow bill, eye-patch, and legs. It has prominent white wing patches visible in flight. Native to Asia, its distribution has expanded globally due to introductions, making it a highly invasive species in many regions including Australia, South Africa, and parts of Europe and North America. They are ground-foraging omnivores, often seen in pairs or small flocks in urban and agricultural areas. Their behaviour is characterized by their bold, noisy, and aggressive nature, frequently displacing native birds and competing for resources. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

Two subspecies are recognised.

Here is a #CommonMyna with a freshly-caught butterfly lunch. A #bird found in many parts of the world, it was introduced to Hawai'i in the 1800s to control insect pests. Now it's a serious pest itself on agriculture crops and it also preys on the eggs of native Hawai'ian birds--that's not good.
