Obsession with rocks?

Over the last 3–4 hours, a pair of mynas has been repeatedly carrying small rocks and dropping/leaving them onto my outdoor AC unit.

At first I thought it was random, but they keep coming back with more. They seem very intentional about it. Not building a nest either — just… making a tiny rock collection on top of the unit.

Has anyone else seen mynas do this before? Territorial behavior? Play? Bird engineering?
