Noisy Miners - WILD Magazine

[brian fleming <>]

The current issue of "Wild" magazine (July-Aug 2010, No 118) has an 
article by Dr Steve Van Dyck, Senior Curator of Vertebrates at the 
Queensland Museum.
"A number of scientists who have studied noisy miners all their lives 
concur that it is one of the most pugnacious, aggressive species in 
Eastern Australia."
It seems they prefer open country with little understory. He suggests we 
should be "planting more shrubs between the power poles".
