Yes I would say there was.  Firstly, more effort would be put into
finding out how the ptarmigan got into Australia in the first place. 
Secondly, the concerned aviculturist whose aviary it escaped, would want
it back. Lastly, at least the House Crow is an irregular visitor/vagrant
whereas the next ptarmigan would be the first (somebody correct me if I
am wrong!).

Good watching
