Another bird from my upcoming "Mynas of the World" set... The Yellow-faced Myna is is endemic to New Guinea and nearby smaller islands. It is usually seen in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, including rainforests, swamp-forests and monsoon forests. It is omnivorous, feeding on mainly fruit and insects. It is often seen feeding on fruit and berries in company of the Golden Myna (also included in the set) or other frugivores. It is a noisy bird, emitting a variety of "nasal, growling, and croaking calls with a sometimes human-like conversational quality". It often perches in an elevated position, calling loudly. It has a quick wing-beat and a direct flight, and pairs of birds are often seen flying together. While this species of myna isn't threatened, its population numbers have been declining. This species has been exploited to some degree by the pet trade.
