Macquarie Island

[Chris Brandis <>]

I have been away so do not know if this has been reported but I read it 
in an Indian paper.
Since the eradication of cats and rats that controlled the mouse 
population on the island, I think Macquarie, the mouse population has 
exploded and they are hungary enough to nibble on young birds. They 
eventually chew off feathers and into the flesh killing birds as large 
as the wandering albatross by 10 or more bold mice attacking one bird.
Solve one problem only to create another.
