The mynas (also spelt mynahs) are birds of the starling family (Sturnidae). The Bali Starling, Leucopsar rothschildi, also known as Rothschild’s Mynah, Bali Myna or Bali Mynah is a medium-sized (up to 25cm long stocky Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Birds ( class Aves) are bipedal endothermic ( Warm-blooded) Vertebrate animals that lay eggs. Starlings are small to medium-sized Passerine Birds in the family Sturnidae. Starlings are small to medium-sized Passerine Birds in the family Sturnidae.

Birds ( class Aves) are bipedal endothermic ( Warm-blooded) Vertebrate animals that lay eggs. Several species have been introduced to areas like North America, Australia and New Zealand, especially the Common Myna which is often regarded as an invasive species.

Mynas are not a natural group (Zuccon et al. 2006); instead, they are a term used for any starling in India and surrounding areas, regardless of their relationships. India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country This range was colonized twice during the evolution of starlings, first by rather ancestral starlings related to the Coleto and Aplonis lineages, and millions of years later by birds related to the Common Starling and Wattled Starling's ancestors. eVolution is the third Album by eLDee, it was due to be released in 2008 UserPolbot. -->The Coleto ( Sarcops calvus) is a species of Starling in the Sturnidae family The European Starling, Common Starling or just Starling, Sturnus vulgaris, is a Passerine Bird in the family The Wattled Starling, Creatophora cinerea, is a nomadic resident in eastern and southern Africa.

Characteristics
Mynas are medium-sized passerines with strong feet. Their flight is strong and direct, and they are gregarious. Their preferred habitat is fairly open country, and they eat insects and fruit. Insects ( Class Insecta) are a major group of Arthropods and the most diverse group of Animals on the Earth with over a million described The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context and the term is not synonymous in Food preparation and Biology. Several species live around habitation, and are effectively omnivores. Omnivores (from Latin omne all everything vorare to devour are species that eat both Plants and Animals as their primary
Plumage is typically dark, often brown, although some species have yellow head ornaments. Feathers are one of the epidermal growths that form the distinctive outer covering or Plumage, on Birds They are considered the most complex integumentary structures Most species nest in holes.
Some species have become well-known for their imitative skills.
