3. The Mynahs

There was a bird seller sitting in the street and I stopped by to take a picture.

“Why are these young birds in a cage? Have they stolen the jewellery from houses?”

No Sir, these are Mynahs, the talking birds, we teach them to answer when someone knocks at the door and they yell “Who is it?”. We keep them at home in a cage so that they keep us company with their voice.

Oh, so my small daughters take a lesson from the fate of the poor Mynahs, and don’t shout too loudly, talking too much may land one in a cage.

Keeping quiet is the best way to avoid trouble
