Jungle Myna

Look in open farmland, grassy fields and urban edges across South and Southeast Asia, where it forages on the ground in loose flocks, often alongside cattle or other mynas, taking insects stirred up by grazing animals. A tufted crest and orange-yellow eye patch distinguish it from other mynas at close range, and it is a bold, conspicuous bird that tolerates busy human environments well. Activity is steady through the day, with larger flocks gathering to roost communally toward evening.
