Hi Don,
I would urge you to report this to the department of agriculture in NT. I
know WA are particularly serious about starling control, and I'd imagine NT
are too as they don't have any colonies there as far as I know. I know its
just one bird (for now), but I believe Starlings send out scouts to find
locations for new colonies, so its not worth the risk.
Regards,
Chris
