Amazing Talking Myna Bird

  • This 'Myna' bird lives at the hotel we were at in Ubud, Bali.
    He was very talkative in the mornings. It was hard to believe how he did this.
    Note that the ONLY time i prompt him to do anything in this video is for the laugh, the rest he volunteered.
    Typically, people would learn what he says, then say it to him to have him repeat it, but this particular morning, he just gave it all to me!

    what is amazing and disconcerting as well is that the bird's beak does not move to match the syllables of the words spoken. Only a couple times does his mouth open and shut during a word, the rest is produced through the vocal chords the way his natural calls would be. Very cool

    I had a great myna named Heckle. He didn’t talk for the longest, but we could hear him practicing while he thought we were out of the room. So amazing, in that they are different than parrots. Parrots use their own voice to interpret, and it sounds pretty close to the teacher. However, mynahs are like a tape recorder. Notice that every nuance is in his words, even a sigh or taking a breath like someone after they speak. Subtle and exact. Amazing.

      Yeaaa yo! I actually noticed that some phrases they say.. it sounds like they’re saying them in a completely different voice! I was curious if they actually did that! Like.. mimicked they persons voice who taught them the specific phrase cause you’re right.. they do sound like they just recorded the person speaking and are playing it back. THIS one legit sounds like he’s speaking in a woman’s voice and then a mans voice. AND that “breath” he took at the end of the laughing.. SOOO COOOL DUDE 🤙🏼🤙🏼

    Oh so so so darling, when I was a little kid I used to stop by a local pet store almost everyday just to see Charlie the talking mynah bird, unbelievable talking bird, many words and very very clear, he was $350 and he'd tell you that. He was there for many years and many people would go to see him and laugh about how well he could talk. I don't know if anyone ever bought him or not, it's so long ago, $350, really??, now they're probably $3000, but I always wanted one, I thought he was the cutest bird ever. The last time I've one for sale at a pet store was in the late 80's. They are so cool.

    In the jungle park in Tenerife they have a myna and there was this macaw that was doing funky things like hanging upside down and making funny calls and the myna beside it was like ''awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww'' like he was understanding something or just amazed from what the macaw was doing, it can also say some other words like ''Hello'' and it even said surprisingly ''Scotlanndd'' And sometimes it makes a noise that sounds like a star wars lightsabre and a blaster firing

    We see and hear so much about other parrots, etc. but the Myna Bird seems to easily be the best "talker" of all. They actually sound like people and don't have that "squawky" sound that most other birds have. I wonder if they are relatively easy to handle, like the parts, etc., usually are.

    My family had a mynah bird, from birth, it was so cool.
    He was fluent in bengali when people took apples from our tree it would shout "SWOOR SWOOR!!!" Which means thief.
    Our mynah was stolen once and he told my uncle who stole him when asked .It was sooooo cool, family members would spend hours with our mynah and bring lots of guests to visit him -- he actually learnt to speak totally fluent bengali.
    He could answer basic questions like :are you hungry, are you tired? And even stuff like what snack do you want?
    He learnt from when hearing things repeatedly, for example my nana would always nag us to pray so soon our myna started flying around telling us to pray at prayer times
    In the mornings our mynah would sometimes call family members to wake up-- bc he got used to hearing us wake each other in the mornings lol.

    The only time I have had anything to do with Mynas it was in Kandahar-South Afghanistan. It was a different sort than this, with yellow just around the eyes and the rest totally black (and yellow-orange feet of course). They were a real nuisance, perching on the trees in the thousands and making so much noise that it was impossible to talk to each other without shouting... We had to beat tin boxes to shoo them away and then they were back in 15 minutes and the show repeated... Luckily they showed up only for a few weeks in late autumn.
