Jungle Myna Pictures and Detail-
Around us, we can find many birds, and even among common birds, we can find many varieties. The same is true for Myna birds.

These are 22 to 23 cm long birds. The color of their feathers is gray, which is darker on the head and wings. We can recognize the Jungle Myna with the head tuft and yellow eyes with a black center. The bill and legs of Jungle Myna are bright yellows in color.
