Thanks! This is inetersting page about bird for 'not a bitd lover' like me! heheee
I took photos of myna from my balcony - from far I can tell that it's a gembala kerbau and the singing tell it soo too.
But then when I look closely it's a bit different - it's so black! Then my friend (in England) and I started looking for different type of myna and we came accross your page. Now I can tell that it's 'jungle myna' not common myna that I used to play with back then in the village. :))

You've got a great blog. keep it up! I used a couple of your photos of Myna birds in my blog at http://tslr.net about wildlife in Kuala Lumpur(nothing to do with slr cameras!), and you have been credited. I hope you don't mind.
