Dear all,

I heard a news report this morning that a major cull of
Cockatoos/Corellas/Galahs will be occurring in Western Victoria in the near
future. The report stated that netting and gasing of the animals will
occur, which at least has got to be an improvement on poisoning. Does
anyone have any more details of this cull, who will conduct it, when it
will happen, how long it will continue for and what the objectives are? How
will it be determined if it is successful? Also does this mean that
Victoria is moving away from controlling numbers of these birds by the use
of poison?

Regards
Stuart Dashper
