Crested Mynas (Acridotheres cristatellus)

The Crested Mynas (Acridotheres cristatellus) is endemic to southeastern China and Indochina.

Around 1890, the Crested Myna was successfully introduced into the Vancouver region of British Columbia, reaching a population in the thousands. However, by the mid-twentieth century, their numbers began declining and the bird is now locally extinct in North America.
