Byline: ANI New Delhi, June 17 (ANI): A myna bird in China has become a celebrity, thanks to its unique singing talent.
A MYNA bird managed to shut up two noisy parrots in China - by learning to miaow like a cat.
Through his words he is turning the figures, first in the wrong way--seven turns--toward the setting sun and the waning moon, and then in the right way --eight times--toward the rising sun and the new moon, thus making them into substitutes for the patient, "the myna bird struck dumb," (7) as she is here called.
