Top pic is a bank mynah bird
2nd an african pied crow
3rd a species of mynah /starling i'm not familiar with .
after that im not sure

I agree the first is a common, or bank myna, but I really dont know if the 2nd is a group of pied crow - not that I know what it is, though - The markings are right, But It looks a little on the small side, and the face of the one looks striped....maybe house crows ? (Corvus splendens) - Who knows - some size referance, and a good head shot would really help the Id

I really dont know exactly what species alot of them are - The one with the wierd bare patched faces are likely some sort of figbirds (related to the old world oriles) - And I believe the yellow one is some sort of old word orile (Oriolus)...Maybe some sort of golden orile - Looks verry similar to the African Golden Orile (Oriolus auratus notatus) A bird I am farmiluar with -

Neat pictures -
