just cruel for any bird to be in captivity all birds should be free like us humans and not to be used for our entertainment..SO CRUEL TRY LOCKING YOURSELF IN A CAGE SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT!!!!
You're a real inspiration to me for rescuing & raising Kaleo to be healthy and content like this :). I love all of his videos, they make me so happy. Hopefully someday I can help sick birds and animals too.
My mynah bird, Sparky was killed today by my cats. He was only 6 months old and he never talked. He loved baths, just like Kaleo. I wish I had decided not to buy my bird because then he would be alive. He was so sweet. Never trust birds with other animals, no matter how careful you are being.
I am glad that you have found something positive about the Indian Mynah bird. I to did not realise that they could be trained to speak. In Australia they are a big problem. They build up in numbers and then take over whole communities. Four years ago we had a beautiful variety of small birds that used to live in our garden. Please look up Superb Fairywren and you will see one variety that used to greet us each spring until the Indian Mynah's wiped them out. I wish you well.
birds should not be held captive as a pet. you should leave them alone when they are leaving the nest. it is quite normal for them to be sitting on the ground with the parents nearby.
@ilferrari I absolutely agree with you,except that it is not safe to let them on the ground when there are cats or dogs snakes or other wild animals around.After that I consulted a wild animal welfare they asked me to put the baby blackbird in a basket or old cage with soft paper in it, and cut the top of it and hang it on a tree near the nest.It was amazing, Mother came and guided the bird back to the nest.
@ilferrari I agree with you completely. I help rescued birds for release. Kaleo was @3 days old, cool and almost dead when found at dusk one evening..he was not a fledgling (learning to fly) as you are talking about. The parents were nowhere around & nest too high to reach. He would have died. Later discovered he could not be released due to a bad leg. I do not want these videos to encourage people to own a wild bird or interfere with nature, yet there are times they do need help
@cmhhawaii I want to commend you on your commitment to Kaleo. He wouldn't return if he wasn't happy with your company. Kudos to you. He's a wonderful and intelligent bird.
@MrGypsy910 Thank you for your post. He is a huge commitment but despite of the circumstance of being an unreleasable rescue he is very loved and happy I believe.
and i dont put it in a cage it flies around my house and when i want it to come it comes and talks i give it food it bring lots of other mynas which want food i give it to them 2
i have a myna in afghanistan they were in afghanistan pakistan and especially in india they are very intelligent 4th best talkers in the world after amazons african greys and macaws
:L Ithought birds just repeated the sounds they hear but now I know different coz of 2:10 when she asked are you smart and the bird says i can talk sooo cute makes me want a bird
This show's what a good trainer can do with these amazing birds. This is the best example of what a Mynah and a smart and very dedicated owner can do. The conversational quality of this video is AMAZING. My favorite is when you ask Kaleo what a puddy says and he says meow. Not just repeating but clearly aware of the concretes around him and there names. Truly awesome.
I absolutely LOVE your videos! Kaleo is amazing -3 The bond you share is so evident and so beautiful. You're very lucky to have each other! Thank you for rescuing him and also for posting these amazing videos!
I adore watching Kaleo and the other talking birds on this site. I had talking parakeets and cockatiels when I was younger but now being post-liver transplant I am unable to own birds. So I get my joy from them by watching videos of them. Thank you for sharing this smart, beautiful girl with us.
God's Creation's are amazing. I think we have a lot to learn yet about what they're capable of. I just heard there are dogs able to sniff-out if, and where, a person has cancer growing inside their body. Animals are a gift from our Creator to bring joy into our lives. We should teach are children from infancy to respect them.
@XxBitolaxX Are you sure its not the kea birds you're referring to? They are very common in australia. Considered to be among the smartest birds in the planet... and a serious pain in the butt for local citizens.

I remember a talking Mynah bird at the entrance to a zoo we visited in 1964 (and I don't remember which zoo, but it was either Detroit, Philadelphia, or St Louis). My brother and sister and were having such a blast with that bird that our mother had to come back and drag us away. Otherwise I believe we would have spent the entire time at the zoo there.
what a wonderful testament to love!They are such amazing Gifts from God!,and I admire your absolute respect for this little character!-It's a very unselfish love you give Kaleo!- I see you are an exceptional person!. Freddy and I, just adored Toop Toop, our Common Indian Mynah of 10 yrs,11mths.-but you're something else!- Thank You!
This is amazing! He is clearly loved ! and so are you!!! What a great video. You have done an amazing job with this little guy. I have two large parrots and one of them talks pretty good too. It's so entertaining! Thank you for taking such good care of one of god's little creatures. Birds are awesome! so are you...:)
I didn't know those kind of mynahs could talk. Wow, you'd think they would be singing Hawaiian music if they hang out in a tree near someone's house. This bird seemed to understand you.
Had some work done on our roof and dislodged 3 baby indian mynas...2 didn't make it but we still have Hari. Have been hand feeding him but has just started eating for himself and doesn't like to be handled anymore. Have him in a cage by the window where he can see other mynas but want to keep him as a pet, should he be kept from seeing other birds if I want him to talk and be a pet? What do you feed him and do you clip his wings and let him run around the house? any info. would be appreciated.
Kaleo is absolutely amazing! And your love for him so very evident! I could listen to him saying "bubble baash" all day!! Thanks for sharing this precious creature! I have parrots and know how they steal your heart!!
Aloha! What a wonderful bird he is, and how lucky you are to have such a wonderful boy. I'm also in Hawaii, and have been actively searching for a tame Mynah for some time now. Such an intelligent breed, with a wide range of vocalizations. I even love the screeching sound they make in the morning, one of my favorite things about living here. :)
That a nice bird I had one and he died. he was so sweet just like the one that you have. i used to get out with him and he would fly for a bit and come back. i missed him so much.
I was told that mynah birds were a protected species and not allowed as pets anymore... In the uk at least. Is this true? (This isnt a criticism by the way! I think Kaleo looks very happy and healthy!)
This is correct, it is illegal to own or transport them.. I rescued Kaleo off the ground and was unable to put him back in the nest. I didn't know what I was in for. While he has chosen to come back after being set free twice I caution anyone who sees these videos to not think they are easy to have as pets.I believe birds are best to be free whenever possible.. Kaleo is wonderful but a huge commitment.
Surprised that this common mynah is protected. it is the Hill Mynah that is closed to extinction.
The common mynah is abundant in Asia but hunted down in Australia.
I have owned both types of mynahs and both are equally sociable and close to humans, they mainly differ in diet,the hill mynahs love fruit whereas the common ones eat mainly grain.
@cmhhawaii I am SO glad Mynahs are not allowed as pets anymore..I remember seeing Mynahs bored out of their minds and going loopy in pet shops, and this bird of yours does get a lot of attention and freedom, and lots of people just would not be able to give a bird that level of commitment.
@Oakleaf700 I couldn't agree with you more... it breaks my heart to see any bird locked in a lonely forgotten cage!! Kaleo was a rescue that could not be released due to a bad leg. He has lots of freedom, love and attention. The last thing I want my videos to do is encourage anyone to have one to keep in a cage. They are illegal to own and a HUGE commitment.
nice bird..i have a baby mynah i think he is 3 months old..everytime he heard music he talk something i dontn understand ist like squeeking alot... is this a good sign that he would talk soon?
nice bird..i have a baby mynah i think he is 3 months old..everytime he heard music he talk something i dontn understand ist like squeeking alot... is this a good sing that he would talk soon?
He is so adorable! They are also VERY intelligent! When I was a teenager I knew an elderly man that had one. He could not get it to say one bicycle. He always said two bicycles, the man figured it was because it had two wheels! LOL Kaleo is gorgeous!! What a privilege it must be to have him!
My brother said there used to be a mynah in an old department store in new Orleans. He used to say, "Mommyyyyyyyy!" because of all the kids who got lost. Then they'd cry because they thought the bird was making fun of them. lol
man every time i watch this video, it makes me really want to get a myna chick asap.
i have a few parrots and just got a crow recently (which i sadly have to give away ;@) so i dunno; it might feel crowded. can you tell me what they're like? i mostly hear they're not very clean but i doubt that's true. thanks! <3
I canhear the birds in the background,I guess they are in Hawaii,I was there in May 9th.That is one heck of a Mynah bird.I guess she had it since it was a baby.I love to have one.I surely miss Hawaii,I want to go back.
cmhhawaii I sent you a message. The seniors where I work as activity coordinator are learning about the Internet and how much the can learn and even travel around the world from their seat but they think your conversation is the best they have seen so far and coulnd't stop wanting to see your mynah over again. Thank you for making them smile and laugh today.
Actually its more like I want to wear glasses around him because he pecked my eye one time..perhaps because he saw a glimmer...His beak may not take a finger off but since he likes shiny things I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Great video, my kids and I got great enjoyment out of watching it (and the others you posted). I was wondering why you don't want to wear your glasses on your head with your birdie close by.
no i buy him in the petshop,he is only 2weeks old when i buy him.sometimes i put him on the cage everytime i go to work...ii feel he is sad everytime i put him in the cage.hope he will talk soon.....thank you for the tip on how to take care my little martin.once i heared him talk you will be the first one to know it.
Dennis it is NOT true you have to cut their tongue. That is an old wives tale and so wrong. Kaleo did not talk until 6 months or older. I would talk to him from a baby and repeat phrases over and over. He is loved and one of our family.. we do not keep him caged all the time. Mynas are highly intelligent and sensitive creatures... love him..talk to him everyday and don't just leave him stuck in a cage all the time... Did you rescue him?
@cmhhawaii I was fascinated by mynah when I was a child. I bought an Indian mynah when I was like 7 or 8 yr old by shelling out pocket money. The guy who sold the bird told me that he did cut the tongue. As a child I believed what was told as it was the procedure to make a mynah talk, unlike parrots talking naturally. I think I litterally tortured this bird in the attempt to make her talk during my play hours and donno what caused it, but found it dead in the cage in one fine morning. sad:(
@cmhhawaii i have baby mynah.. ithink he is 3 months old.. he is trying to pick his food all by himsefl.. sometime i heard him talking but i cant understand what he is saying.. is this a good sign? he loves music so much..
@cmhhawaii i have a baby mynah i think he is 3 months old.. i played music and everytime he heard music he started to say something.. but i dont understand what he is talking about.. is this a good sign...
@cmhhawaii i have a 3 months old myna ..i played music everyday and evrytime he heard music he starts to say things that i dont understand.. is this a good sign?
@cmhhawaii Yes, the tongue-cutting myth is strange, very old, and completely wrong. Eating chili pepper is also a total myth. They are smart, loving, and only need friendship & interaction to talk. The same goes for parrots and other speaking birds.
how did you train kaleo to talk?old folks said it needs to cut his tounge so that it can talk?is true?i ask this question because i have 1 month old myna here and i really want him to talk...can you give me some tips?thank you
just cruel for any bird to be in captivity all birds should be free like us humans and not to be used for our entertainment..SO CRUEL TRY LOCKING YOURSELF IN A CAGE SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT!!!!

I have owned both types of mynahs and both are equally sociable and close to humans, they mainly differ in diet,the hill mynahs love fruit whereas the common ones eat mainly grain.

@cmhhawaii I am SO glad Mynahs are not allowed as pets anymore..I remember seeing Mynahs bored out of their minds and going loopy in pet shops, and this bird of yours does get a lot of attention and freedom, and lots of people just would not be able to give a bird that level of commitment.

@Oakleaf700 I couldn't agree with you more... it breaks my heart to see any bird locked in a lonely forgotten cage!! Kaleo was a rescue that could not be released due to a bad leg. He has lots of freedom, love and attention. The last thing I want my videos to do is encourage anyone to have one to keep in a cage. They are illegal to own and a HUGE commitment.

@Oakleaf700 They're also an invasive species and kill many native birds and their chicks.

That is incorrect.
It is only illegal to IMPORT them. Some are endangered in their original country (Burma, Sumatra, India etc.)
Breeding or having one as pet in the USA is OK since they are considered EXOTIC birds here.

He is so adorable! They are also VERY intelligent! When I was a teenager I knew an elderly man that had one. He could not get it to say one bicycle. He always said two bicycles, the man figured it was because it had two wheels! LOL Kaleo is gorgeous!! What a privilege it must be to have him!

My brother said there used to be a mynah in an old department store in new Orleans. He used to say, "Mommyyyyyyyy!" because of all the kids who got lost. Then they'd cry because they thought the bird was making fun of them. lol

man every time i watch this video, it makes me really want to get a myna chick asap.
i have a few parrots and just got a crow recently (which i sadly have to give away ;@) so i dunno; it might feel crowded. can you tell me what they're like? i mostly hear they're not very clean but i doubt that's true. thanks! <3

cmhhawaii I sent you a message. The seniors where I work as activity coordinator are learning about the Internet and how much the can learn and even travel around the world from their seat but they think your conversation is the best they have seen so far and coulnd't stop wanting to see your mynah over again. Thank you for making them smile and laugh today.

Actually its more like I want to wear glasses around him because he pecked my eye one time..perhaps because he saw a glimmer...His beak may not take a finger off but since he likes shiny things I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Great video, my kids and I got great enjoyment out of watching it (and the others you posted). I was wondering why you don't want to wear your glasses on your head with your birdie close by.

Dennis it is NOT true you have to cut their tongue. That is an old wives tale and so wrong. Kaleo did not talk until 6 months or older. I would talk to him from a baby and repeat phrases over and over. He is loved and one of our family.. we do not keep him caged all the time. Mynas are highly intelligent and sensitive creatures... love him..talk to him everyday and don't just leave him stuck in a cage all the time... Did you rescue him?
cmhhawaii 1 year ago 3
@cmhhawaii I was fascinated by mynah when I was a child. I bought an Indian mynah when I was like 7 or 8 yr old by shelling out pocket money. The guy who sold the bird told me that he did cut the tongue. As a child I believed what was told as it was the procedure to make a mynah talk, unlike parrots talking naturally. I think I litterally tortured this bird in the attempt to make her talk during my play hours and donno what caused it, but found it dead in the cage in one fine morning. sad:(

@cmhhawaii Yes, the tongue-cutting myth is strange, very old, and completely wrong. Eating chili pepper is also a total myth. They are smart, loving, and only need friendship & interaction to talk. The same goes for parrots and other speaking birds.
