About the Common Myna

Despite its name, the Common Myna is anything but ordinary! Known for its ever-present cheerfulness, this highly social bird never misses an opportunity to interact with its surroundings.

Martin, Casela's Common Myna

A resident of Casela since 2020, Martin was initially fostered and hand-fed by someone during the Covid pandemic. Today, he loves landing on visitors’ backpacks and whispering sweet words to them. Martin playfully teases his fellow friends in the aviary and enjoys a good chat with his caretakers – particularly Ryan, whom he affectionately calls by his name!

True foodies

Common Mynas are resourceful omnivores and adapt their diet based on what’s available. They’ll devour insects, fruits, seeds, and even scavenge leftovers from other birds, or by humans after a picnic.
