How Do I Choose a Hill Myna?

When choosing a hill myna, check whether its feathers are fully grown. Unfeathered birds are usually under 20 days old, too young and difficult to raise, and prone to dying.

If you want it to talk, choose a female, because females speak more clearly and are less likely to mix up sounds, while males have brighter feathers and more energy.

Finally, check its vitality; if it lacks energy, has a hoarse voice, and dull eyes, it is likely sick and hard to keep alive.
