| Common myna - ಗೊರವಂಕ - Goravanka |
The common myna (Kannada name - ಗೊರವಂಕ) (Acridotheres tristis), sometimes spelled mynah, also sometimes known as "Indian myna",
[2] is a member of the family
Sturnidae (
starlings and mynas) native to Asia. An omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct, the myna has adapted extremely well to
urban environments.
The range of the common myna is increasing at such a rapid rate that in 2000 the
Species Survival Commission declared it one of the world's most
invasive species and one of only three birds in the top 100 species that pose an impact to biodiversity, agriculture and human interests.
[3] In particular, the species poses a serious threat to the
ecosystems of
Australia where it was named "The Most Important Pest/Problem".
