Common Myna Bird on Cononut Palm Frond, Maui, Hawai`i

A common myna (Acridotheres tristis) rests on the frond of a coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) tree on the island of Maui, Hawai`i. The common myna, sometimes referred to as the Indian Myna or spelled mynah, is native to Asia, but is rapidly spreading its territory. Its native range spans southern Asia from Iran to Singapore, but the bird has since been introduced in many other parts of the world, including Australia, Hawaii, Canada, and islands in the Indian Ocean. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared the myna one of the world's most invasive species.
