Dear B-A,

There is a piece in the Sydney Morning Herald’s web site regarding a study on Common Mynah and their effects on native bird species. http://www.smh.com.au/environment/conservation/pushy-myna-birds-a-major-nest-pest-20120812-242v2.html The study was based partly on data collected by the Canberra Ornithologist’s Group. Now that we know they are a pest, it would be nice to come up with a control measure – that”s the rub.

Cheers,
