Discover the fascinating world of acridotheres, a diverse group of old-world mynas. From the sacred Gracula religiosa indica, also known as the Indian myna or lesser hill myna, to the adventurous jungle myna (Acridotheres fuscus) riding on an Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), these birds never cease to amaze. In Picture No. 10890612, the vibrant and curious Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis) boldly steals the spotlight. Joining the ranks are the Bank Myna (Acridotheres ginginianus) of Kuwait and the striking Acridotheres cristellus, also known as the crested myna or the Brazilian cowbird. Paroaria species, such as the red-billed and rufous-collared mynas, are also part of this intriguing family. Acridotheres - a testament to the beauty and adaptability of nature's most curious creatures.
