MY FAVORITE MYNA BIRD

Myna birds are known to be extremely intelligent and some can even "tlak". We don't have many Myna birds here in Michigan, but I have one. Of course I keep him in captivity and allow him no freedom of flight, but this is done merely to protect my Myna bird from himself and also to keep him from leaving home.
To allow my Myna to fly free would incur the risk of him blindly flying into a glass window and thereby injuring himself...or worse. And were my trained Myna ever to escape the bonds of captivity, wherever would I find another with a college degree????
After all, the pickings around here are pretty slim at best...
