Hi Surita,
It sounds like you live where this species is a native wild bird? If so, the best thing to do is try to find a place that rehabilitates wildlife. They would have other Mynahs that fell out of nests and could put your bird with other wild Mynahs. This way he would learn to be a wild bird and when he is ready, they would return him to the wild. If you simply try to release him, he doesn’t know how to survive in the wild. He will either starve, or get caught by a predator or end up going to another person who might bring him in and put him in a cage. He is too imprinted on you to be released without spending time with other wild mynahs first and learning to interact with other wild birds.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
