What does MYNAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A member of a group of Asian starlings known for their loud calls and their skill at mimicking human speech.
The common mynah is a stocky, dark brown bird with a yellow bill and yellow patches around the eyes, native to South and Southeast Asia but now established in many warmer countries as an introduced species. Mynahs are famous for imitating sounds around them, including words and whistles, which has made the hill mynah in particular a popular caged bird for its talking ability. In the wild, mynahs are bold, social birds that gather in noisy flocks near towns and farmland. Their adaptability has also made some mynah populations a concern for native wildlife where they have spread.
