Mynah bird with huge appetite entertains at service station
A Mynah bird kept at Eger's service station in Grenfell, Saskatchewan, chats and shrieks for visitors. The talking bird, left by a traveler with the Royal American shows, eats lavishly from a diet of fruit, vegetables, bread, eggs, and meat. Doug Eger notes such birds can be valuable if they talk, and the bird enjoys daily baths. The bird, uncommon to the area, appears well adapted to its surroundings.
