Abstract
Vocal communication of common myna (Acridotheres tristis) was studied in Chiang Mai province. The vocal communication of this bird was studied in the roots of colonies, in front of Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, where is a city with high density of populations. It was found that the repertoire was classified in elements by shape and structure into 12 groups, many sub-groups and 341 patterns. Additionally, the vocalization was grouped by structure and complexity, consisted of 1) calls with short and simply, produced by normal syntactic elements. They had a large functionality but found 5 patterns: aggressive, alert, alarm, exciting and contact call. 2) sub-songs are a combination of elements and phrases which became new song patterns with complex syntaxes, patterns and meaning. It was found that the repertoire of sub-songs were 285 patterns. These are used mainly for communication.
