Ranges from Red Sea to Marquesas and Pitcairn, n. to Ryukyus and Hawaiian Is., s. to S. Africa; absent from Arabian Gulf and Oman.
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.

E' un grosso uccello trampoliere della famiglia delle cicogne, i Ciconiidi. È un uccello imponente: è alto generalmente 110-120 cm, pesa circa 5 kg ed ha un'apertura alare di 210 cm. Malgrado tutto, è il membro più piccolo del genere Leptoptilos. Il dorso e le ali sono neri, ma il ventre e le regioni inferiori sono bianchi. La testa e il collo sono glabri come quelli di un avvoltoio. Il becco, di colore pallido, è lungo e robusto. I giovani sono una versione meno variopinta degli adulti.
La maggior parte delle cicogne vola con il collo disteso in avanti, ma le tre specie di Leptoptilos, quando sono in volo, ritraggono il collo come un airone.Il marabù minore nidifica nelle aree umide delle pianure tropicali. Edifica sugli alberi un nido di ramoscelli e spesso forma piccole colonie. Il marabù minore, come la maggior parte dei suoi affini, si nutre soprattutto di rane e di grossi insetti, ma anche di giovani uccelli, lucertole e roditori. Mangia anche carogne, come indicano la testa e il collo glabri.
