Mynas brood

 Cackles of Javan Mynas and I would have just walked past without a single look until something about how these three remained there as I eventually decided to pause close by, and I was glad I did because this was a clutch of juvenile siblings.  It's also the first time I came across myna juvies which suggested that an adult myna could lay up to three or perhaps more eggs. 

I was proven right when a parent flew in and these juveniles looked like they still wanted to be fed.

But it was not to be as the parent (looking wet as it must have taken a bath somewhere on this pretty blazing hot day) took off again, perhaps the usual tactic of hoping the juvies would follow suit.

So they remained in the comfort of their perch, flexing and preening.

It certainly looked secure where they were until the calls of a lineated barbet put them on alert.  Perhaps safety in numbers, they continued to remain where they were.
