Real-world profile
Beyond the blocks,
what bird is this?
The crested myna is dark all over, with a prominent crest above the bill. Its white wing patches are especially conspicuous in flight.
It is well adapted to open spaces around farmland and cities, has a varied diet, and is skilled at calling and mimicking other sounds. Tree cavities, eaves and old nests may all serve as breeding sites.
