Can anyone tell me the type of bird?

Question

In Asia, there is a little black bird with yellow hair on it's beak. When it grows older it can talk and is very loyal. Can anyone tell me what the name is? and where to find it? in the US?

Answer 1

Other then the hair on the beak it sounds like a Mynah bird.  There may be some variety of Mynah I'm unaware of with hair on it's beak.

Indian Mynahs are commonly available in US pet stores.  They are excellent talkers but they are messy and you want to get them while they're young.  You need to teach them to talk while they are young.

You may also want to check sources like Bird Talk magazine, I think they have an on-line site, to get an idea what is involved in the proper care of the bird.
