Hi Susan,
There has been a reasonable amount of research and experimentation on this issue, with trials of removing these birds. It is not my work, so I won’t add much,
besides I don’t have all the details but the issue is known and has been considered.

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Noisy Miners
I have been in Adelaide and Sydney recently as well as being at home in Campbell (ACT). I have become more and more concerned and annoyed by the increasing numbers and increasingly dominant presence of Noisy Miners in all these places.
The adults can be aggressive to people and to other birds. They can threaten the well-being of other birds and kill baby ones. I know that they are a native species and so are automatically protected by law. Is there is any possibility that these birds could
be reduced in numbers?
