    Alexandrine parakeet ninja-kicked in the face In Udawalawa, Sri Lanka, competition for nesting sites is fierce. Upon returning to its claimed nest, this Alexandrine parakeet got ninja-kicked in the face in mid-air by two common Myenas. Alexandrine parakeet,Asia,Psittacula eupatria,Sri Lanka,Udawalawa

The crested myna is a species of starling native to southeastern China and Indochina. Unlike other similar mynas, its bill is dull whitish rather than orange-yellow.
