Minah Ogbenyealu Bird (also known as Mynah Bird and Minah Uko) (11 March 1950 – July 1995) [1] was a Nigerian model and actress active in the United Kingdom in the 1970s.

Described as the "only major black starlet in British sex films",[5] she vanished from public view from the late 1970s and was found dead in her London council flat, a few weeks after suffering an apparent heart attack in 1995.

[5][6][7] Bird was listed as one of the "top black fashion models who paved the way for black women in fashion" alongside Iman and Grace Jones.

[9] She is credited with a series in the Sunday Mirror in the mid 70s that birthed the trend of Kiss N Tell stories in newspapers.
