Interesting idea. I have not checked out that article. As NZ has no native
terrestrial mammals, if the thought is to identify a footprint of a
non-native mammal in NZ, clearly that is pretty easy!

Software to identify a foot of a Myna from some other bird would surely be
vastly more difficult, though given digital capacity it may be possible.

This thread has reminded me about this article I read recently about the use
of digital track pads in NZ to identify animals that walk across them in
real time, and potentially administer a poison:

I wonder if birds like Common Mynas could be accurately identified by their
foot prints.
