I had visited my sister's house recently where i was facinated by the Pigeons which her neighbour was having. Birds of the same feather but different colours trying to woo its mate.

I don't know why...but I thought this was taken in India before I saw your location. Interesting shots of common birds.

Here's another bird I'm sure you'll recognize- they're very tame and let you approach closely with a point & shoot camera:

Thanks. I shot these in the mid noon. Hence could not get the details of the birds. Next time I may be lucky.

Hai Jack. The bird is "Indian Myna". It can mimic other birds and even human sounds. Nice picture.

Hi Susheel. Don't worry about the love life of these birds, they (and the Doves) are the consumate love birds. Glad you gave us a glimpse of them. PAUL

Very cute! Fun to see that all the other species also have dating issues!

Namaste Susheel!
In Kolkatha, they call mynah birds something along the lines of "shaleeg". I've seen them in Hawaii and have seen pictures of them in Israel. I haven't heard the wild ones mimic yet.
