It's a shame the Sydney Morning Herald article didn't contain details of the strategies used in the national capital to reduce Indian myna numbers.

I thought it did. 1400 people from Canberra are trapping them. If you are waiting for the Government to do something it would be like waiting for the kettle to boil without turning it on.wink

I assumed Woko was talking about sufficient detail for people to follow. e.g. what to bait with, trap dimensions, how to humanely dispose of trapped birds, etc

Correct, Timmo. More precise details would be helpful for wildlife lovers to use the best methods in trying to eradicate Indian mynas from their own locations. And I agree, Shorty. Waiting for the government to act will achieve little, if anything.

The publicity is good. It might give impetus to other groups and councils around the country who haven't yet implemented destruction programs.
