Media notes
myna drinking rainwater collected in the african tulip flowers.
Observation details
A flock of mynas joined parakeets on the african tulip/fountain tree. The cup-like flowers of the tree were in bloom and were holding water. Noticed birds dipping their beaks deep into the flower-cups and drinking water settled at the bottom of the flower. If water is not reachable, they are tearing out the petals for better access to fit their bodies. Adding video documentation of the act.
