The Sri Lanka Hill Myna is endemic to Sri Lanka's wet forests. It eats fruit and moves through the canopy while giving loud calls.
Its black plumage has a purple sheen, the base of its orange-red bill is black, and it has two small wattles on the nape.
It usually lives in pairs or small flocks and eats fruit. It moves through the canopy, gives whistling calls, nests in tree holes and adults feed the young.
