Thank you! Will let my friend know about your comments and get him to sign up. :)
We get a lot of visitors on this coconut tree - our office is on the 5th floor - right across our window. There is a dead coconut tree stump nearby, with ready made rooms for nesting.

We have seen a couple mynas scout the same place too. Didn't have a camera to capture then...
