Good morning All
The story of the Brown Goshawk and the
Common/Indian Myna reminded me of an episode in Pietermaritzburg in South
Africa. I watched an African Goshawk chase a flock of Indian Mynas into a
macadamia tree and then crash in after them, thereby flushing them out in a
panic allowing her to pick off one. While I watched her plucking
it I had the innocent thought:
"I hope she likes curry" , and promptly collapsed
laughing at myself.
There was a fellow in the area who was a falconer
and had trained his Black Sparrowhawk to exclusively take Indian Mynas - it
reduced the local population substancially.
