Mynah Birds

This exotic species of birds native to eastern Asia is a sight to see. The black bird to the left is known as a Hill Mynah and is among the best birds with the ability to imitate sounds when in captivity. Our Hill Mynah is a four year old female who has a cute little call and loves to jump around her cage. Mynahs, being soft bills, require a special diet of fruits and soaked pellets. Soft bill pellets are relatively easy to find and almost any kind of fruit they will eat.
They can get messy at times so it is best not to keep them directly next to your wall or you may be scrubbing crusty fruit for a while.
We also have a breeding pair of Bali Mynahs who are beautiful. They are very rare due to the fact that they are only found on the island of Bali in Indonesia. They are critically endangered and we are very lucky to have a pair. We would love to see this pair go to a serious collector and have them try to breed to help continue the existence of this magnificent species. Please stop by if nothing else but to look at all the species of birds we have. Your support is what helps us keep going.
