I have been informed that the State Government (DPI) had two Barbary Doves removed from their main site in Bayside - the Brighton Dunes/Dr Jim Willis Reserve - on 17 Feb.

That was a day after I saw one on a nest there.

So that means no(?) breeding population remains in Victoria. Thank you, DPI (and in the past DSE)!

Please report any further sightings to the DPI (or me),

I guess that people are releasing surplus cage birds so they could get going again.
