    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.
