2. Nas Hill Myna The  Nias hill myna  or Nias myna ( Gracula robusta ) is a member of the starling family. It is an endemic resident of Nias and other nearby islands off western Sumatra. Description[edit]. This large, stocky and superficially crow-like myna is the largest of the hill mynas and may be the largest living species in starling family.

3. Yellow faced myna The yellow-faced myna grows to a length of between 23 and 26 cm (9 and 10 in) and is one of the largest species of starling. The head has short black feathers glossed bluish-purple on the forehead and at the base of the upper mandible, but most of the head is bare yellowish-orange skin. This forms a wide patch around and behind the eye and includes a bib on the chin and the sides of the throat. The neck, central throat and mantle are black glossed with purple while the back, wings, breast and belly are black glossed with green. The rump is white, the lower belly is golden-yellow and the undertail -coverts are white. The short, squarish tail is black. The iris is usually yellow, but in some parts of New Guinea may be brown. The bill and legs are yellow.

4. Sri lanka hill myna This  passerine  is typically found in forest and cultivation. The Sri Lanka myna builds a nest in a hole. The normal clutch is two  eggs . These 25 cm long birds have green-glossed black  plumage , purple-tinged on the head and neck. There are large white wing patches, which are obvious in flight. The strong legs are bright yellow, and there are yellow wattles on the nape. The different shape and position of the wattles and the stouter orange-red bill distinguish this species from the  Southern hill myna , which also occurs in Sri Lankan forests. The sexes are similar, but juveniles have a duller bill. Like most starlings, the Sri Lanka myna is fairly  omnivorous , eating  fruit ,  nectar  and  insects .

5. Golden crested myna The  golden-crested myna  ( Ampeliceps coronatus ) is a species in the  starling  and  myna   family   Sturnidae . It is found from north-eastern India through  Indochina  and has been introduced to the  British Indian Ocean Territory . Its main habitat is subtropical and tropical moist lowland forest, but it is also found in heavily degraded former forest

6. Southern hill myna Southern Hill Myna  23-25 cm; 126 g. Medium-sized black myna with bare patch below eye clearly separated from bare postorbital skin, which extends back to nape, where there is a wattle, and fo.‎ Taxonomy  · ‎ Descriptive notes  · ‎ Food and feeding  · ‎ Breeding
