Common Mynah

Please call before attenpting to purchase this bird. Mynah birds are very active and enjoy hopping around from perch to perch. They require a spacious cage, with a minimum size of 4 feet wide, 2 feet high, and 2 feet deep for one bird. The cage should feature several perches at varying heights and different widths, diameters, and textures for foot exercise. Natural perches  are preferable. They do not climb the caregivers like a parrot does. 

Mynah birds like to take baths, so provide a bowl or dish that is large enough for them to splash around in a couple of inches of warm water. Baths help birds maintain their plumage by removing dust, dander, loose feathers, and bird mites, while also providing moisture. Air conditioning and heating systems in homes can dry out a bird's skin. You can also mist your mynah with a spray bottle. Do not put your bird in the shower; the spray from the showerhead may be too strong.
