Hi Lidya, Oh, the value for the Mynas is S$20? Maybe, we can catch and send them over to Singkawang. (^^) I call them trash birds. You can see them tompan the gabarge trucks and enjoy the leftovers while having a free ride. (^^)
Oh and you have fireflies? Are they at the mangroves? In Malaysia, we can see them in Kota Tinggi and in Kuala Selangor. I saw them in K. Selangor like 15 years ago. I am not sure if they are still there. Are there any jungle near to Singkawang?
