In Canberra, The Canberra Indian Myna Action Group (CIMAG) has removed about
14000 mynas from the city using traps that cost $50 to buy and also holds
workshops to show people how to build their own traps for even less. The
local RSPCA euthanases the birds for a small donation or trappers do it
themselves. The CIMAG website is www.indianmynaaction.org.au.
