My initial send was rejected under the 200kb rule. Surprising for such a modest offering. Must be a lot of pixels in the old C of A. They knew how to make ’em in those days From: Geoffrey Dabb [

Subject: RE: [canberrabirds] Noisy Miners v Indian Mynas I think the _expression_ ‘more bang for the buck’ was used , the suggestion being that there is a limit to the resources that can be marshalled in such a cause, and hence it is reasonable to set (or reset) priorities. The other view, as Bruce indicates, is that it might not be possible to motivate community based culling against a native species, which is, after all, as Australian as the kangaroo. Perhaps. Would Van Helsing have chosen another target if there were no vampires about? As with so many things (not to mention the war), it is the simplicity of the case against the Common Myna that is its great strength. The slightly greater complexity of the argument against the N Miner is a reason that Miner Rage might be some distance off yet.

Subject: Re: [canberrabirds] Noisy Miners v Indian Mynas I find the whole argument of Noisy Miners vs Common (Indian) Mynas really quite pointless and potentially confusing to a large proportion of the public who have difficulty in distinguishing the species. Yes, each pose their threats to native species, but why link them or rank them? Studies have shown that Noisies can have detrimental effects on native bushland by excluding smaller insectivorous native birds, but as a native species, they require a different approach than a community based culling program. From my own observations, there are parts of Mulligans Flat, Goorooyarroo and Campbell Park Nature Reserves where flocks of Noisies are indirectly leading to degradation (and death) of eucalypts.
