City Council Environment Grant.

Come along and learn how can you help to control Common
Myna impacts. This workshop will explain how to identify this bird,
how to report your sightings and how you can start trapping in
your own backyard.
After attending this event, participants interested in trapping can
borrow a cage and learn how to set it up. Participants will also
need to sign the Animal Welfare Protocol before starting any
trapping.

Why Common Myna birds are a problem?

Common Mynas were listed among 100 of
the worlds worst invasive species by the
World Conservation Union (IUCN) in 2000. In
Australia, Common
Myna
birds
are
considered to threaten native biodiversity
due to their territorial behaviours and nest
cavity competition.

About the Common Myna Humane

Reduction Program
The Common Myna Humane Reduction Program in Brisbane is a
community program of Brisbane Catchments Network which
creates community awareness of Common Myna (Acridotheres
tristis) impacts, volunteers build cages and participants trap
Common Myna birds in their backyards.
This event is hosted by Norman Creek Catchment Coordinating
Committee (N4C).
