hehehe, lol, something similair happens when fishing, the birds know that us fisherman means left over magot or bread or whatever, so always hang around, a few last year, I was packing up and this swan brought her cygnet over and I gave them my left over maggots

the thing to remember with mynahs they are from the starling family and project liquid s**t.i knew someone years ago that had a little buisness dealing in avairy birds,and if someone wanted a mynah he would order it in and soon as it arrived he would pin a plastic sheet behind its cage and phone the customer for them to collect it straight away,which he made clear they had to do when they booked it.
