I wonder if the R-w B really is such a threat – and to what?. Surely less than the Myna, Noisy Miner, Pied Currawong & Rainbow Lorikeet in terms of disrupting other birds or the Blackbird in spreading weeds. It has been present in Australia for a long time and has never been very successful in establishing big populations. Sure that doesn’t predict the future. I doubt that any aviary would have greater security measures for holding them than any other passerine.....

 

In terms of the suggested campaign I wonder if that is one worth pursuing, relative to others.

in  captivity  there  are  few,  if  any,  measures  in place to ensure they remain securely in their enclosures.

 

Except the fact they cost over $100 a pair!
