I have mobs of photos from my brothers backyard at Bramston Beach, North Queensland, where I been photographing tropical birds and butterflies for 10 days. Bear with me.
This is the Indian Mynah: it was introduced early last century as a tick bird for cattle. It has spread massively in Australia. As with all these introductions, the birds preferred native insects. It is a type of starling and also outcompetes native birds for tree hollows for nesting. They are gradually moving in on my island here in the south too, alas.
