Exceptional capture on the coconut frond as well as terrific feather detail and colors, Lisa, and they usually don't pose for you!! These mynahs are real pests here and make a lot of noise. Great job on this!!
Much Aloha,
Stan

"Mynah" is not a biological classification within the starling family, but rather a geographical one. "mynah" ("maina") is the Hindi word for starling, and this name has tended to be applied to starling species native to southern and southeastern Asia and the southwest Pacific. The word "mynah" derives from the Sanskrit "madana," meaning joyful or delightful, which comes from the word "mad," to rejoice, which in turn derives from a root meaning "bubbles." So ultimately the word "mynah" means "bubbling with joy."
