Mynas – Group Overview

Mynas are medium-sized passerine birds known for their bold behaviour, adaptability, and close association with human-modified landscapes. They are commonly seen in open countryside, agricultural areas, towns, and cities, where they forage both on the ground and in trees.

Most mynas belong to the family Sturnidae, which also includes starlings. They are characterised by strong legs, direct flight, and often striking facial features such as bare skin around the eyes or contrasting head patterns. Many species are vocal and highly social, frequently observed in pairs or small groups.

Mynas have a varied diet that includes insects, fruits, grains, and human food scraps, contributing to their success across a wide range of habitats. Their ability to exploit diverse food sources and nesting sites has allowed several species to expand their range and thrive alongside people.
