Close species differences of myna

The crested-winged locust is a common bird in southern China, distributed in the provinces from southwest Shaanxi to the south of the Yangtze River, as well as in Taiwan Province and Hainan provinces. Originally only distributed in southern China and Indian zhina Peninsula, it is a typical oriental bird. However, the illegal bird trade has led to the rapid spread of myna, with introduced populations in the Philippines and Borneo, and myna has gradually become a common resident bird north of Huaihe River in northern China. All black, about 25 cm long. The whole body feathers are black and shiny, and the yellow forehead feathers on the mouth and feet stand like crowns; There are white spots on the wings, which are particularly obvious when flying. It looks like "eight characters" from below, so it's called starling. The tail feather is white at the end.

The yellow-winged locust originated in India, but it has spread all over the world, mainly to reduce the number of pests in agricultural areas. However, due to its strong adaptability, it poses a threat to local birds and other mammals and becomes an invasive species.
