Are you able to give us some background on the situation there Tony, because
this has caught a lot of us by surprise. How many birds at how many
locations are there? Postings on birding-aus over the last couple of years
left me thinking it was a small population based on a handful of birds
living across a couple of backyards in one suburb, not that I was
particularly happy about it, now it's obviously something bigger, how was it
allowed to happen.

I'm pretty sure Birds SA know about it, after all, it's their membership
showing interstate tickers where they are. But as I said before, it's
already going to be a big job to get rid of them and nobody wants to
take it on. I guess DEH say it's a council responsibility and vice
versa.
I can understand eradication being successful at The Alice though
because it's a much smaller area to cover.
I can just see the tourism ads now - " come to sunny Arkaroola and feed
the beautiful doves"

G'day Tony, David and Trevor,
Is Birds SA really on to it?? If they are what is happening? They should
be giving the relevant government department plenty of grief over this
until something is done. Who wants to take bets on how long it takes for
them to reach Arkaroola.

There are some other small populations in Salisbury and Elizabeth. I'm
sure the authorities know about them but nothing is being done to
eliminate them - I think they are more or less accepted as inevitable.
They've been there for some time now.
Tony.

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 All,
Re : Barbary Doves in Adelaide I have found three new locations where
there seem to be breeding populations of BDs in the South Western
Suburbs. They are fairly consistently seen in the same locations and all
up number over 20 birds. For anyone looking for an inglorious tick happy
to give directions.
Cheers
Dave K
