Barbary Doves getting a foothold in Adelaide??

["Greg Little" <>]

Jeff & all

Is there some sort of plan or process in place by an authority to have
the feral populations of Barbary Dove eradicated?

David Kowalick has just sent me an email stating that Barbary Dove is
possibly now well established throughout greater Adelaide.

I find this really disturbing news and ask the question why has it been
allowed to happen. If it has happened under the noses of people while
seeking to get an extra Australian tick then all the more disturbing.
Thus
far postings on birding-aus indicated that the birds were of small
number
and confined to a small area across a couple of backyards, but if the
real
story is of a species well on the way to establishing itself then what
happens next. I this is all true then I would suggest the local birding
community needs to present a combined appeal to the authorities to try
and
save the situation before it is physically impossible to reverse.

These locations should be reported to the relevent authoraties
especially if
they are breeding so they can be removed while they are still domestic
stupid and not street smart.

Cheers Jeff Davies.



Hi Jeff,



Agreed. I have already reported these to the relevant department. But it
may
be a bit too late as the birds seem to be well established already
throughout the greater Adelaide metro area albeit thinly and these birds
are
not tame either.



Cheers
