Javan Myna - IMG_3992 - Edited
While walking through "Gardens by the Bay" in Singapore, I spotted this little guy just wandering about, picking up food left behind by people.
It's a Javan Myna, one of the most common bird species found in the city. Mynas are part of the starling family, and are noted for their ability to mimic sounds that they hear - though the Javan Myna isn't the best at this, and can't imitate human speech (some mynas can - like the Hill Myna). This bird is native to the Indonesian isle of Java, but are common across Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
