The Common Hill Myna (Gracula religiosa religiosa) is the larger of the two and has a louder voice.

Both sexes can produce an extraordinarily wide range of loud calls – whistles, wails, screeches, and gurgles, sometimes melodious and often very human-like in quality. Range: Northern India, southern China, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, northern and central Thailand ID: Averages 10 to 11.5 inches in length (including the tail). The eye and nape patches are joined. The French word for the bird mainate is probably derived from the Indo-Portuguese mainato, from the name of a songbird living near water, and is probably a metaphor since it refers to a man whose job is to wash the clothes of others. [2] Description [ edit ] Burung dengan bulu halus ini mampu menangkap nada yang tepat dari berbagai suara yang didengarnya. Selain itu, ada pula organ lidah yang fungsinya dalam melantunkan vokal sama seperti manusia. Inilah yang juga menjadi alasan mengapa burung beo sangat cerdas dan dapat melafalkan kalimat-kalimat yang diucapkan manusia. Harga Burung Beo The different shape and position of the wattles and the stouter orange-red bill distinguish this species from the Southern hill myna, which also occurs in Sri Lankan forests. The sexes are similar in plumage, but can be distinguished by iris color, which is pale in females and dark in males. Juveniles have a duller bill and smaller wattles, and are less glossy overall.

Common Hill Myna

A 2020 study found that the subspecies G. religiosa miotera likely represents a distinct species and was likely driven to extinction in the wild in the late 2010s due unsustainable collecting for the wildlife trade. The paper recommends rescuing the last genetically pure captive individuals for the purpose of captive breeding. The International Ornithological Congress tentatively recognises it as a subspecies. [6] [7] Vocalisations [ edit ] Calls recorded in Thailand They build a nest in a hole in a tree. The usual clutch is two or three eggs. [4] There is no sexual dimorphism in these birds, which results in a limited possibility of choosing the sex to work with for mating.

Burung Beo Nias memiliki nama latin Gracula religiosa robusta atau Gracula robusta, hidup secara berkelompok atau berpasangan ini hanya bisa ditemui di Pulau Nias dan sekitarnya, seperti Pulau Babi, Pulau Simo, Pulau Tuangku dan Pulau Bangkaru. Biasanya burung Beo Nias membuat sarang mereka di batang pohon tinggi yang berdiri tegak dengan melubanginya. Bersama kelompoknya, Burung Beo Nias ini sangat suka tinggal di alam terbuka.Until recently only two species were recognised, G. religiosa and G. ptilogenys. Previously, all Gracula were considered to belong to a very variable species commonly called the hill myna. Three additional subspecies of G. religiosa are increasingly being considered as distinct species. Formerly, the Sri Lanka hill myna was considered to be a subspecies of the common hill myna, but today all major authorities recognise them as separate. Comparably, the Enggano, Nias, Tenggara, and southern hill mynas have traditionally been treated as subspecies of the common hill myna; a treatment still preferred by some authorities.
