"Gembala Kerbau" Birds

Sunday, April 19, 2009

We called these birds "Gembala Kerbau". In English, I am not sure. Do you know?
Its scientific name is Acridotheses tristis.

Looks like they are eating something on the ground.

Now, they know I am taking their pictures, one of them try to fly away..

Karen said...: It's a Mynah bird ..or also as it's known a Common Mynah. I think it's also spelt Myna.

I remember them from when I was living back home in New Zealand.

There are a lot of them in the North Island..

Nice photos..; April 19, 2009 9:54 AM
