Hi, I am new.

Hill Mynah is called Mocha. Cocoa is the name of my CAG.

Great pictures. How do they get along?

[Erithacus]

The Hill Mynah is not so friendly. They do fight sometimes.

Does it come to you, sit on your hand, etc? Is it hand fed/raised?

mocha and cocoa are both stunning birds. love the pic where they are on your picture frames.

Welcome! Your birds are absolutely beautiful, especially the Mynah. I love Mynahs! I've never met one personally but a friend talked constantly of their friend's Mynah. They were actually one of the birds that fired up my interest in parrots again! For the record, yes, I do know that Mynahs are not parrots .

Both are hand raised. The Mynah spends most of the time in the cage because of his constant messy poops. He does come to us when his favorite food is served. I didn't spend time training the Mynah. I keep this bird mainly for his talking ability not so much as a companion bird like my CAG. My CAG is taught to fly outdoor. She is not well trained like your Kili who can fly to you on command as I am a lazy bum.

On vocalization, the Mynah is like a CAG. The Mynah talks a lot and make all kind of sound effects. My Mynah is fond of talking while my CAG prefers sound effects. Cocoa hardly talk except her favorite sentence "you, no good".

A video of Mocha talking. You can hear Cocoa chattering in the background.

Wow, what a character! He doesn't sound like a bird talking at all. Their mimicking capabilities are just amazing.
