Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis) **

The Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis) is considered an invasive species in many parts of the world. Originally native to South Asia, this bird has been introduced to various regions, where it often outcompetes native bird species for food and nesting sites, disrupts local ecosystems, and can spread diseases.

The Common Myna's presence may have negative effects on native bird populations and ecosystems. Its adaptability and ability to thrive in urban environments make it particularly successful in spreading and establishing itself in new areas.

Efforts to manage invasive species like the Common Myna typically involve monitoring populations, controlling their spread, and educating the public about the impacts of these species on native ecosystems. These efforts often require collaboration between government agencies, conservation organizations, and the public to effectively mitigate the impacts of invasive species.
