| This project was started in 1988 by the first inspiration from a hill mynah which was kept in an individual cage for its life time without any chance to breed. Due to its ability to mimic any sound especially human languages, hill mynah becomes a very popular pet worldwide. However, it hardly breeds in captivity and people keep on taking the young from their nests. This threatens the decline of the wild population. |
|
| At that time in Thailand, there was no report about the biology of Thai hill mynah, particularly reproductive biology. Several research projects, both in the field and in the laboratory, on anatomy, physiology, ecology, ethology, hematology, endocrinology, parasitology and natural reproductive biology of hill mynah have been conducted since then. | |
| With a persistent aim to conserve this kind of wildlife, the works have been carried on to acquire the most information fundamental to captive breeding. | |
