Shalik
The Shalik (myna) is a very
common bird in Bangladesh.
The common myna is about the size of an American
robin. Its colors range from rich wine-brown on the lower breast to deep black
on the head, neck, and upper breast. It has a splash of white on the lower edge
of its wings, and its bill and legs are a bright yellow. This myna feeds on
plants, insects, and worms. It often builds its nest in crevices of buildings.
It is a noisy bird that is common about yards and buildings. It is often seen
among chickens or perched on the backs of cattle. People have released the
common myna into the wild in many tropical Pacific islands, including Hawaii,
where the bird is now abundant. Talking mynas are sometimes kept as pets. Many
imitate the human voice and can talk, sing, and whistle.
