Lol. I assume you are joking, as these birds are not very noisy at all, in spite of their name, & what noise they do make is quite pleasant. If you want to hear some noisy birds, try some Corellas or Rainbow Lorikeets. Earl.

Mynah birds are a complete different species & have no connection whatsoever. Miner birds are native to Australia. Mynah birds are Asian. The Indian Mynah has found its way to Australia & is extremely invasive, taking over the habitat of native birds. They are categorized as pest/vermin & treated as such--I shoot them on sight, but not with a camera. Earl.

Sorry Earl, the only Mynah birds I've heard are extremely noisy. That's the black and white version and are good at mimicking.Lol.

You are talking about Mynah birds. This is a Miner bird--they are two completely different species--no relation whatsoever. Don't worry, a lot of people get them mixed up. Earl.

Hi Audrey. Check out my other replies--Miners & Mynahs are two different species. Earl.
