The Indian Myna is another biological pest controller; like the Cane Toad, gone wrong. In Australia the Myna was recently voted the most unpopular feral animal. It competes aggressively with native wildlife for nesting hollows, which are in short supply over much of Australia, largely because of the clearing for agriculture.

The Myna like the Cane Toad and feral cats need to be removed from our continent, because their success means a reduction of our unique and beautiful indigenous fauna. Like so many other environmental issues, unfortunately it’s not on the horizon for the economists & lawyers running this country/planet… if they put just a fraction of what is spent on their lunches, lurks & perks, the extermination of these pests would be accomplished.
