		In ancient Greece, the mynah was kept among the aristocracy as a pet, and in India, the mynah has been considered sacred for more than 2,000 years, and during a feast day, individual birds were ; carted through the city by oxen.
		Many mynah owners complain that it is difficult to find the perfect ready-built cage, since most cages are constructed with a parrot in mind and are taller than they are wide.
		Mynahs normally molt heavily once or twice a year depending on where you live. If your mynah does not molt at all within a year, there may be something wrong with his diet.

	World of Pets - Mynah bird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Lesser Hill Mynah was also imported here but in fewer numbers - it is about the same size as the Greater Indian Hill but was not popular, probably because the voice is not as human sounding, it has a higher pitch and does not mimic as well.
		When purchasing a baby Mynah, it is ideal to choose a bird between the ages of 6 and 8 weeks old but this is not always possible unless you are able to purchase directly from a breeder.
		A Mynah bird is not usually particular in who it talks to and really tame Mynah will go to almost anyone after spending just a little time socialising.

		Among the animals brought to the Center, Pickles, a greater Indian hill mynah bird, is especially favored.
		However, the favorite among the children at the DCC is Pickles, a 2-year-old greater Indian hill mynah bird who talks to them and plays with their buttons or hairbows.
		The 3-week-old mynah went from an incubator to being fed by her new owner with a syringe.

	Cats and Other Ferals
		Mynahs were first introduced to Australia (Melbourne) in 1862, and were subsequently introduced first to Sydney and then to the cane regions of north Queensland.
		A consequence of the increase in mynah numbers is a decrease in the local biodiversity.
		It is for all these reasons that mynahs are strongly disliked by many people and of considerable concern to environmentals, ecologists, native bird lovers, etc. It is for good reason that they are known as "flying cane toads" and regarded as yet another ecological disaster.

		Because of its habit of prospecting along the roadsides for bugs killed by cars, the common mynah is probably the one bird New Zealanders are most familiar with, at least in the northern parts of the North Island.
		No doubt mynahs have developed this habit in other parts of the world but here it makes them a target for many people in cars who do their best to run them down, usually without success, unlike the poor Pukeko.
		“mynah” (“maina”) is the Hindi word for starling, and this name has tended to be applied to starling species native to southern and southeastern Asia and the southwest Pacific.

		Although the Greater Indian Hill Mynah has been a favorite as a pet for many years, although due to their scarcity many have become unfamiliar with them.
		Mynahs are characterized by a stout, compact body and short broad tail.
		Mynahs do enjoy human interaction though and should be kept in a well used part of the home (not the kitchen).

	Common Myna
		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.
		Indian Mynas are capable of evicting even large birds such as Kookaburras and Dollar Birds from their nests.

	Ajit Jogi and the Talking Mynah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		On Jogi’s approach, one of the mynahs hopped from the highest tuft of foliage to a lower branch and greeted the chief minister in chaste Hindi: ‘‘Ajit Jogi ki jai’’.
		He was trying to communicate a message — ever since he learnt of the chief minister’s visit to the tree of the talking mynahs, he had chanted ‘‘Ajit Jogi ki jai’’ so many times circling around the tree that the mynah blurted out the chant as soon as the CM arrived.
		The mynah’s greeting is being seen in two ways: as divine blessing for Jogi and as a politically complicating event in case Congress president Sonia Gandhi insists on being escorted to the talking mynahs.

		They were brought to the island in the early 20th century, but failed to establish themselves and, according to Birds Tasmania, had not been recorded in the state since 1950.
		Although expert opinion remains divided over the precise extent of damage to plants and other birds caused by the aggressive mynahs, and on the justification for trapping and killing them most agree that they should be prevented from colonising Tasmania.

		That is, they use portions of the population as a control to separately test each factor -- for instance, habitat loss or mynah predation -- and then tease out the key limiting factors.
