Javan Myna Hatchling
Acridotheres javanicus (hatchling)
A Javan Myna hatchling stays hidden in a tree cavity, roof gap, or other sheltered nest site in towns, gardens, and open country. It is mostly bare-skinned at first, with sparse down and a wide gape used to beg loudly for food. Adults feed it insects, soft fruit, and small scraps carried back to the nest. A notable fact is that this altricial chick depends completely on parental care before its feathers and coordination develop.
