Maybe the elderly gent had read the book "Matthew Flinders Cat" by Bryce
Courtney. In this book an elderly gent sat on the steps of the Sydney State
Library each day, feeding rat poison rolled up in bread pellets to the
Mynas. Perhaps we should encourage this behaviour and reward any volunteers
with a special medal reading 'I Killed 50 Mynas Today' or some such. :) LOL

Subject: mynas in the RBG
I was walking in the Sydney RBG yesterday near the State Library entrance
when I observed a bespectacled white-haired old man spraying food around
under a veritable cloud of Indian Mynas. I couldn't believe what I saw so I
approached him in an attempt to explain to him his misguided action. I could
only speak for a few moments as I had a toddler in a stroller who was very
hungry.
As I broke off the conversation he walked away, totally unconvinced, once
again spraying food about to a bunch of very fat looking mynas.
Could anyone who works in the city please try to observe this again and take
some further action?
What can be done with these people?
