Spotted turtle doves have been in Perth for many years. They are not considered a problem. It's the native, introduced rainbow lorikeet that is the real problem there. Hundreds, maybe thousands roost in the Norfolk Island pines, at Cottelsoe each evening and also at the airport. They are causing problems with the native parrots/rosellas etc.,using their nesting sites. (Did you see them, Jack?)

Crested pigeon have only recently come to Canberra in large number, but, yes, they are native
