Indian Mynas are a feral bird specie in Australia. They are very aggressive, competing for breeding sites with rosellas, kookaburras, galahs and small native birds, pushing young and eggs out of nesting cavities or simply nesting on top of them.
They are a significant threat to native species and their numbers will climb alarmingly unless action is taken.
Grant funding from the City of Greater Bendigo launched this project which has now become self-sustaining, allowing passionate members of our group to coordinate this Indian Myna control project offering traps to the community.
Our two-chamber wire traps are based on a proven design for Indian Mynas and made by inmates at the Fulham Correctional Centre in Sale. They are lightweight and measure approximately 90cm long x 60cm wide x 70cm high at the tallest point.
