The Common Myna, what a strange thing to call common. These beautiful birds made our cities their home, singing their songs over our traffic, nesting in our walls. No one bats an eye, but arnt they spectacular

This is because feathers with melanin (a dark pigment) are more resistant to damage than feathers without pigment! The wing tips and tail are susceptible to being damaged while birds flap about, so these areas tend to have more melanin to protect them. Now if you see a bird with dark wings and tail you'll know why :)
