Re: birding-aus Myna problem and a humane method of control rep

Good morning all
I understand that buffalo and pig damage aided the spread of Mimosa pegra 
up here.  But then again what about Salvinia? It grows in Kakadu and 
Arnhemland waterways that remain unchanged by agriculture etc.  
Incidentally some in tourism here didn't want buffalo removed; they were 
an animal even the newest, most ignorant tour guide knew something about 
and their wallowings ensured that shallow waterways remained relatively 
free of aquatic vegetation.  Hence waterfowl were easier to see and fish 
easier to catch.
