	Factsheets: Common Myna
		The Common Myna is closely associated with human habitation along the east and south-east coasts of Australia.
		Common Mynas are accomplished scavengers, feeding on almost anything, including insects, fruits and vegetables, scraps, pets' food and even fledgling sparrows.
		In southern Asia Common Mynas are not generally considered to be pests, as flocks follow the plough to feast on the insects and grubs turned up with the soil.

	Common Myna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mynas in India are also regarded as symbols of undying love, because they often pair for life and maina is also sometimes used as a term of endearment for young girls.
		Common Indian Mynas were brought to Melbourne in 1862 to control insect pests in market gardens, but even though they were not successful at this, they were taken from Melbourne to many other places in Australia, including north Queensland, where it was thought they would control insect pests of sugar cane.
		Common Indian Mynas can be an economic problem because they damage fruit and grain crops and their noise and smell can be annoying where they are in large numbers.

		The spread of the Common Myna into further regions of the Shire is sure to have a detrimental effect on local birdlife, in particular those species that nest in hollows such as parrots, cockatoos and kookaburras to name but a few.

	Please myna your manners - Ipswich Queensland Times - Dec 28 2004 7:00AM - localnews
		The Indian or common myna bird, introduced to Australia in the 1800s, has infiltrated suburban back yards in the past two years, according to Queensland Museum ornithologist Greg Czechura.
		The myna, not to be confused with the native noisy miner which is grey in colour, is a socially aggressive bird that overtakes tree hollows and evacuates its occupants including possums and lorikeets.
		Mynas are known to nest in house eaves, posing a fire hazard, and can cause lice infestations.

	Mixed fortunes for Australia's birds
		Declining common species have fared less well, particularly those favouring agricultural areas such as the Hooded Robin, where the clearing and degradation of habitat is continuing to be a problem.
		Higher altitude species such as the Gang-gang Cockatoo and Flame Robin also seem to be showing a noticeable decline, which could be an early indication of the effects of global warming.
		Many introduced birds such as the Common Myna continue their invasion, but others such as the Common Starling and House Sparrow are showing noticeable declines — mirroring the situation in their native Europe.
