Image Details:

A large glossy common myna(Gracula religiosa) with distinctive orange-yellow wattles on face, bill a deep vivid orange, legs yellow. Calls loud and variable, sometimes seen in groups, feeds largely on fruit but also takes other food, including other small invertebrates and vertebrates. Rarer than the other myna species in Singapore, this species is popular in the pet trade due to its ability to mimic everyday sounds including human speech. In Singapore, it is largely confined to forested areas and does not associate with people. Saw a pair of this myna for the first time during my evening walk to the park.
