Queensland Country Life newspaper 28/12/06. p.52 has an item that field trails
will take place in
2007 using the poison D1339 in feedlot rations to kill birds including
cockatoos around feedlots and
piggeries. I would think that any grain eating bird visiting the site would be
at risk regardless of
it's rarity. The trials with the livestock industry have been funded by the
Invasive Animals
Cooperative Research Centre and the Natural Heritage Trust. Who is actually
carrying out the
trials and how dod they propose to exclude non target species from access to
the poison?
