Sentences with MYNAHS (5)
Listed in the order of their ability to learn and remember talk, the important talking birds are as follows: African gray parrot, yellow-headed Amazon, other Amazons, the hill mynahs, the cockatoos, the macaws, and the various others previously mentioned.
They have a good deal in common with those bright, clever, and famous mimics, the Indian mynahs, which they much resemble physically.
This was the bird which Bontius considered "went one better" than Ovid's famous parrot:-- "Psittacus, Eois quamvis tibi missus ab oris Jussa loquar; vincit me sturnus garrulus Indis." The mynahs have also the starling's habit of building in houses, and especially in temples.
They find great, deep satisfaction in imitating the actions of humans, as parrots and mynahs and parakeets imitate human speech.
Mynahs and barbets were in flocks: lories and paroquets abundant, and at last Lane stopped short and held up his hand, for from out of a patch of the forest where the trees towered up to an enormous height, and all beneath was dim and solemn-looking as some cathedral, there came a loud harsh cry, _waark, waark, wok, wok, wok_, and this was answered several times from a distance.
