Portrays a Brahminy Starling (Myna).
This myna is pale buff creamy with a black cap and a loose crest. The beak is yellow with a bluish base and iris is pale and there is a bluish patch of skin around the eye. The tail feathers have white and the black primaries of the wings.They have musical call notes that are long made up of a series of slurred notes that ends abruptly. Like most Starlings, the Brahminy Starling eats fruit and insects.
Creative Thoughts of Photographer: The Bird is sitting behind the fence, so it seems like it is caged but actually it is free to fly without any restrictions or boundaries unlike we Human, who seems to be free and independent but matter of the fact is we are confined to limitations that we have created around us. That's the biggest difference between Birds and Humans.
Great shot of an interesting bird. Here is North America we have only the Common Starling and even that was introduced from Europe. Starlings and Mynas are a diverse and interesting family.
