The Noisy Miner is native to Australia, and the myrnah introduced (and classified as a pest).

I think we call them mynah birds over hear. I clicked on a link to make sure of the spelling & the link says myna (without an h). Maybe is is just an American thing, but I have never seen them called miners before. We probably pronounce it the same way you do, lol.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-31943161969273638832017-05-12T06:08:53.529+10:002017-05-12T06:08:53.529+10:00Kim: And a healthy one too - which is lovely.

Right outside my bedroom window the birds gather in the apple tree and one has a strange sound that almost sounds like the tinkle of the doorbell we have at our gate. Sometimes I've wondered who could be at our gate so early but of course there is never anyone there it is that bird.RasmaSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978012654446052037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-43203540436106032492017-05-09T14:34:18.720+10:002017-05-09T14:34:18.720+10:00Lady Fi: We think so.Lady Fi: We think so.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-89946813623240606442017-05-09T13:53:19.200+10:002017-05-09T13:53:19.200+10:00Such beautiful, if noisy, visitors!Such beautiful, if noisy, visitors!Lady Fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181866510595193667noreply@blogger.com
