I wonder what those who supported  (or at least didn't object to) the introduction of  Starlings, Common Mynahs, Sparrows, Rabbits, Brumbies (See todays australian re the upper reaches of the Murray) said about the harmlessness of a rabbits or whatever.

I too feel this bird  should  be  quickly  dispatched with While there  is not  much  one bird  can  get up to  any bird or animal  with pest potential  are best kept  out  of Australia .  Ship  assisted House Crows will keep   arriving even if it  is  at an irregular  rate. Can this bird  hybridise with our locals? Are there  any authorities on the trail  of this one?  

cheers Ian
