Great Myna

Acridotheres grandis

Description:

Love the frontal crest! Chocolate coloured mostly. White wing patches...seen when the bird is flying.Vent is white which is diagnostic since it is also called White-vented myna

Habitat:

Ruins of Ayutthaya near Bangkok. This is a large and bustling town but with oases of ruins which have nice big trees all around and a quiet ambiance.

Notes:

Unafraid of humans. Bold bird. These were common in Bangkok city too.
