Abstract
This note describes observations of Common Myna/s Acridotheres tristis perching on captive Lowland Nyalas Tragelaphus angasii at Sydney Zoo, Bungarribee, New South Wales, and pulling tufts of hair. In two of 12 interactions, the Myna extracted hair, which we suspect was for replenishing nesting materials. The repetitiveness that we observed suggests that this behaviour is not uncommon in these birds.
