I am not sure where I ever suggested that it was the responsibility of
twitchers to remove a pest species?
This specimen should have been captured and dealt with by the appropriate
authorities just like they do in Western Australia a long time ago.
So I am an not sure I do understand what you mean. I guess I don't
understand the obsession with " ticking off" an invasive species common all
over the world when we have so many fantastic and unique species in
Australia.
I am not either suggesting "Apocalypse Now". My only point is why anyone
would take an even .00001% chance of this species ever becoming established
in Australia? The authorities should just remove the bird and be done with
it.
