Has anyone ever messed with them before.


I have several times over the years, there actually a relative of the myna bird and from my experience they pick up speaking fairly easily way faster then any parrot I’ve ever had, the only bird that did so easier was the crow I raised, in both cases I did start with them before their eyes opened so that might make a difference

They also learned trick and things very easily recognized patterns and learned to take advantage of them

I trapped Starlings for bait birds for banding Hawks. I fed them 26% turkey starter and give them LOTS of water. They love water.
