Common myna eating seeds

Postby Neil Fitzgerald » Mon May 24, 2021 9:22 am

Mynas have discovered my seed feeder. Seeds are listed in HANZAB (but not NZBO) as minor food items but until recently I hadn't seen it. Has anyone else? Can't tell exactly which seed is being taken from the mix, but it looks like it might be millet in some shots. It would be hard to identify seed consumption in the wild without detailed study.
