The Myna

There appear to be new residents on the balcony and they're not of the plant type.  They're of the bird type.  But I'm pretty sure they're not in league with Will.  These two are what I believe to be Myna birds.  They seem to be very common here in Australia but from what I've heard are not indigenous.  These birds are frowned upon, though I'm not really sure why.  Something to do with bullying other birds?  They don't look like bullies to me.  But what do I know.  Any how, these two Mynas have come to hang out on the balcony almost every day for the last month.  I notice them because of their distinctive call.  And their penchant for eating fruit flies.  Oh yes.  They eat the fruit flies.  Now I don't want to jinx it but these birds seem to be the perfect addition to the balcony.  They eat the fruit flies but they don't eat the fruit.  They leave the plants alone and have never once pooped only the balcony.  They tend to hop about for a bit, munching on the flies and then fly up onto the wall and just sit there for a while.  They seem content.  And I'm happy to let them go about their business.  Any bird that tackles the fruit flies whilst leaving my plants alone is more than welcome.
