Nice image. Well composed. Its a Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus). Prominent tuft of erect feathers at the base of the bill. Angry look, not finding any half- eaten guava left by squirrel. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose. Liked the eye contact and the tuft of erect feathers. Nice perch and clean background. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

NIce image. It looks a bit irritated. :) I guess there are no guavas as Shaktipada ji mentioned. In Bhubaneswar at my hom, there is a guava tree, but not a single guava is left for birds. People climb and take all the guavas. We are cornering all the resources and nothing is left for others. :(
