I'm not sure that the comment that Noisy Miners are aggressive towards other
species is particularly judgemental. Rather it's a comment on the behaviour
of these birds based on observation. Quite a number of species are
incredibly territorial and will chase other birds away (whether they be the
same or different species).
Anyway, your comments on humans' behaviour is well noted!

Greetings all,
I'm currently working on a bird sampling field report for Ecology (Uni).
Anyway the comment has come up about Noisy miner aggression towards other
birds. Is it not incredibly hypocritical of us, as a species to pass
judgment on any other species on this planet. Are we not the worst species
be aggressive not only to our own but to others species.We plunder other
species territories etc etc etc. I congratulate the noisy miner for it's
protectiveness of it's family, community and its resources. I admire its
resourcefulness. How dare we judge this bird when we have altered its
habitat.
They only reflect what Humanity as done already!!
Rob
