Indian mynas are a bird accustomed to open woodlands, but have easily adapted to urban and woodland-like areas. They compete aggressively with native wildlife for food and tree hollows, thus reducing biodiversity. They commonly attack other nesting birds - destroying eggs and chicks
DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRY The myna (also known as Indian, Calcutta or house myna) is a medium-sized (25–26 centimetres head to tail) but heavily built bird with mainly brown plumage. It has a dark brown to black head with a bright yellow patch behind the eye, and a yellow bill, legs and feet. The wing patch, under-tail covets and tail tip are white. Mynas have a distinct strut or exaggerated hop when moving across the ground and can be in small to very large groups.
