    We have a beef with some cedar wax-wings at the moment as they are eating berries and pooping on our sidewalk from the tree above it. Thanks for sharing your picturs.

    The first and only time I saw a myna bird was when I was a kid, visiting Florida. We walked into a shop and I heard someone calling, and repeating, 'Warm out, ain't it!' I looked around and saw that it was the bird talking to me. :-) Fun memory. Enjoyed your photos.

    Nice to see some birds that are new to me - except the mynah, but then only in a cage in a pet store.

    Fun mosaic .. Could be a travel poster for Hawaii! We saw a couple of wild Myna birds here near the Everglades a couple of years ago... apparently they were tame ones who were set free...everything that doesn't need cold weather thrives here.
