The Un-common sighting of the Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fucus) in Mumbra region, Thane, MH, India.

Abstract: In our study, we found the small population of Jungle myna (12, 13) was thriving here in Mumbra City, in an urban area. Perhaps the species is able to thrive along with common myna which is most common bird around any big city like Mumbai or Delhi, a metropolitan cities in India (10). We did a small physical survey (method) for the same to conclude and support our observations. The availability of food (the kitchen waste 15), the tall tree diversity, mangroves for roosting places (13, 10), nearby creek area (supporting predator free zone for their survival) here are the probable reasons supporting these bird families along with other common birds survival in the Mumbra city area
