Some people don't include ANY ferals on their lists (their choice) but most
follow guidelines that only include ferals with proven established populations
in the wild. Surely we don't want yet another feral firmly established
anywhere in Australia? I think if anyone is that desperate to see all the
Streptopelia they should organise a world trip to get them all. Yes, I hope
someone publishes the Melbourne locations so that NRE can get to them and
eradicate these birds before they become pests.
And I hope Michael's tongue was in his cheek!
