Bob,
There is a group called the Central Coast Indian
Mynah Action Group. They have a professional project manager and a well thought
out plan of action. They have a website whose name escapes me but it has
'ccimag' somewhere in it, a Google search might find it. They have some sort of
arrangement with Chris Tideman (ANU) who is doing the trap design
work.
I have my own way of getting rid of feral birds
from my property which is so far working well. I yell at them, and tell them to
buzz (euphemism) off. If they don't get the message I throw something at them. I
also talk nicely to any birds that I would like to stay around. I see very few
Mynahs and no Starlings or Sparrows for a couple of years now. This approach
probably won't work in an urban setting, and is, as you say, merely relocating
the problem. Works for me though.
