Guinea pigs? Hmm, that's a thought. We have guinea pigs - and mynas.
What attracts mynas to guinea pigs? Their droppings? Our geeps eat the
grass they live on, some milk weeds we find and chuck in, as well as
some supplemental seeds - ah, I think I see the attraction now...

For Noisy Miners, throw away your lawn mower and replace lawn with
dense plantings of ground covers, shrub layer, mid-storey etc.. These
should preferably be sourced from your local native plants. Encourage
your neighbours to do the same.
Common Mynahs in the suburbs, here in Sydney, are attracted to
artificial food sources found in shopping centres, schoolyards, garbage
tips and suburban gardens. People who put out dog food / cat food or
who feed Guinea Pigs on the front lawn will attract Mynas to your area.
I guess, in summary, we have to change human activity to achieve the
results that you are looking for.

I will swap ideas for reducing Indian Myna numbers for those for
reducing Noisy Miner numbers. We never get Indian Mynas in our yard,
yet they are to be found just over our back fence in reasonable numbers
in the local shopping precinct. In our back yard Noisy Miners rule!,
not OK.
I would be grateful for any hints on the amelioration o the numbers of
these backyard bullies.
Cheers,
