Three additional subspecies of the Common Hill Myna ( Gracula religiosa) are now considered as distinct species ( see Table 2 below) and of these subspecies Gracula religiosa intermedia are the Greater Indian Hill Mynahs that we breed.

Common or Tenggara Hill Myna [excl. enganensis, robusta] ( Gracula [religiosa or venerata, excl. enganensis, robusta]) When I started to compile this article about our Greater Indian Hill Mynas I found a huge amount of confusing and conflicting information about the species and subspecies of Hill Mynas ( Graculas). They are all a member of the starling family: Sturnidae. (Source: Wikipedia) but their classification has changed over time. This is the latest (2021)…

G. r. miotera Oberholser, 1917 – the Simeulue hill myna; Simeulue Island. Possibly extinct in the wild. Beo Sumatera – Beo dari Sumatera ini cenderung lebih terjangkau, yaitu sekitar Rp 1,5 juta per ekor untuk burung usia dibawah 6 bulan The breeding season for the Hill myna varies slightly depending on range, but most breed in April-July. A monogamous pair searches for a small hole in a tree at the forest edge. Both sexes fill the hole with twigs, leaves, and feathers (Feare, 1999) and the female produces ~2 eggs that are blue with brownish spottings. The female spends more time incubating than the male, however, both parents tend the young equally when they hatch. The young fledge after a month and soon after the parents begin a new clutch. The Hill myna averages 2-3 broods annually (Anonymous, 2000).

The common hill myna is often detected by its loud, shrill, descending whistles followed by other calls. It is most vocal at dawn and dusk, when it is found in small groups in forest clearings high in the canopy. [4]

Common Hill Myna

The bill and strong legs are bright yellow, and there are yellow wattles (loose folds of skin) on the nape and under the eye. These differ conspicuously in shape from the naked eye-patch of the Common Myna and Bank Myna ( A. ginginianus), and more subtly vary between the different hill mynas from South Asia: in the Common Hill Myna they extend from the eye to the nape, where they join, while the Sri Lanka Hill Myna has a single wattle across the nape and extending a bit towards the eyes. Tak hanya dari struktur otaknya, kepandaiannya beo dalam menirukan suara juga berasal dari syrinx. Organ tersebut mirip seperti yang dimiliki manusia. Bedanya, jika manusia menghasilkan suara melalui laring, pada burung beo organ inilah yang berfungsi untuk proses suara. Bertram, Brian (1970). "The Vocal Behaviour of the Indian Hill Mynah, Gracula religiosa". Animal Behaviour Monographs. 3: 79. doi: 10.1016/S0066-1856(70)80003-6. The specific name religiosa probably results from the old practice, in Bengal particularly, of teaching captive Hill Mynahs to utter short prayers.

Beo nias memiliki ukuran tubuh mencapai 40 sentimeter, merupakan jenis burung beo yang paling besar di antara jenis burung beo lainnya. Selain itu, beo nias mempunyai bulu yang cukup pendek di bagian kepalanya di mana terdapat sebuah garis melengkung berwarna kuning di bagian belakang kepalanya. 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 ] The Hill Myna is generally an arboreal frugivore, but also includes nectar, insects, and lizards in its diet. Figs are eaten most frequently, followed by berries and seeds from a variety of trees and shrubs. Most of the insects eaten are gleaned from trees, but it has been known to catch winged termites in the air (Feare, 1999). Two species – Greater Indian Hill (Gracula religiosa intermedia) and the Common Hill Myna (Gracula religiosa religiosa) – are recognized as the most proficient talkers of the Hill Mynas and indeed of all talking birds, and these two species were the most widely imported for the pet trade than any other myna.Beo, mamiang, atau tiong emas ( Gracula) adalah sejenis burung anggota suku Sturnidae (jalak dan kerabatnya).
