>We can only be thankful that the
Crested Pigeon established itself in time to hopefully out compete and
reduce the rate of increase of the STDO.
I'm not certain what Philip is basing his optimism on, but I'm afraid I
can't share it. Adelaide has long had a healthy population of Cresties,
but that has not prevented the appropriately monikered STDs from
becoming co-dominants (with Rainbow Lorikeets) throughout suburbia.
I'm afraid we're going to have to take responsibilty for, and action
against, this potential new environmental disaster ourselves. The
Cresties have other priorities.
