Summary

[edit]
Description

a bird waiting for a train at Satna railway station. The Bank Myna or very similar the Common Myna. One is certain: it is better not to be in proximity of steps because people are spitting from upstairs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_myna" rel="nofollow">Bank myna (Acridotheres ginginianus)</a> is a myna found in northern parts of South Asia. It is smaller but similar in colouration to the common myna but differs in having a brick red bare skin behind the eye in place of yellow. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_myna" rel="nofollow">Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis)</a> An omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct, the myna has adapted extremely well to urban environments. The range of the common myna is increasing at such a rapid rate that in 2000 the IUCN Species Survival Commission declared it one of the world's most invasive species and one of only three birds in the top 100 species that pose an impact to biodiversity, agriculture and human interests. In culture The common myna widely appears under the name saarika in Indian culture from Vedic times, featuring both in classical Indian literature (Sanskrit) as well as in Prakrit Buddhist texts. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_myna#In_culture" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_myna#In_culture</a>
