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
