About These Birds
Hirtenmaina
Die Hirtenmaina wurde von der IUCN zu einer der 100 schlimmsten invasiven Arten der Welt erklärt. Ursprünglich aus Südasien stammend, wurde sie in tropische Regionen weltweit eingeführt, wo sie einheimischen Vögeln Nisthöhlen streitig macht. Trotz ihres invasiven Status ist die Hirtenmaina ein intelligenter und charismatischer Vogel, der menschliche Sprache nachahmen kann.

Weighing about 248g with a wingspan of 29cm, it is a large myna with characteristic bare skin around the eyes. It inhabits forest edges and secondary growth where it forages for fruit and insects.
