Old Man Takes his Bird for a Walk

         

    Entertaining footage has come out of Japan, with a bird taking a walk with an elderly gentleman along the sidewalk. The bird does not stray far from him as the old man shuffles his way down the street, with the bird even stopping with his elderly companion as they move across a pedestrian crossing. Common Myna is brown with a black head. It has a yellow bill, legs and bare eye skin. In flight it shows large white wing patches. The Common Myna is a member of the starling family and is also known as the Indian Myna or Indian Myna. Similar species..
       The Common Myna is sometimes confused with the slightly larger "twenty four- cm . twenty nine-cm" Noisy Miner, Manorial melanocephala. Although both species have similar common names, the Noisy Miner is actually a native honey eater. Both have yellow bills, legs and bare eye skin, but the Common Myna is brown with a black head and in flight it shows large white wing patches. The Noisy Miner is mostly grey.
