? For the "Twitchers"
So what bird is this? WTF does it terrorize with those talons?
Pair of them outside my apartment making a lot of noise. Mating, nest building this time of year?

Common Myna. Major problem where it has been introduced (UAE, Australia, NZ and South Africa) where it has become a major pest. Like all starlings, it is an opportunistic feeder and will eat everything from seeds to small mammals.

Kill it,
It a very aggressive bird that pushes out the native birdlife,
It's an introduced species that has no justification being in your neighborhood.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

Where was the photo taken? If in Cambodia, it is actually native (unlike expats) and the avifauna here can deal with them.

Got a few in my garden. Quite like them, have character. What is the very small bird which swoops down and shows off a massive fan tail, as big as itself? I like them too, tiny but ballsy.

Hill Myna. People slit their tongues and put chili as it supposedly makes them talk better....boomer wrote:

Is a "Twitcher" a bird watcher? Anyway, saw this posted on FB, thought it might interest the "twitchers"...
Not sure what's going on, whether they've captured it, or it's injured?

I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Re 'twitcher' my dictionary says: • Brit., informal a birdwatcher whose main aim is to collect sightings of rare birds.
