Common Hill Myna

 Passeriformes - Sturnidae - Gracula religiosa (Tiong-emas Biasa)


Glossy black myna with bright yellow head wattles. Also note bright candlewax-orange bill and white wing patches that are most apparent in flight. A species of mature humid forest and forest edge, often seen in pairs or small flocks flying between or perched up in tall trees. Famed for its wide repertoire: gives a myriad of screams, squeaks, chirps, and whistles. Threatened by its popularity in the cage bird trade.

Clear the noise




Clear the noise, even music, for the soul lives and grows in its natural rhythm.
