Short Description:

The Jungle myna bird in Pakistan is approximately 23 cm long with grey plumage, darker on the head and wings. It has a tuft of feathers on the forehead, yellow legs, and bright yellow bill.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

The Jungle myna is patchily distributed across much of the mainland of the Indian Subcontinent, including Pakistan, but is absent in arid zones. It has also been introduced to various parts of the world.

Jungle mynas are known to be higher pitched in their calls compared to common mynas. They forage in flocks, making clipped cheeping contact calls, and are often seen in open country around human habitations and cultivated areas.
