3,000 mynahs trapped in Cairns.

[Del Richards <>]

    There has been a Rotary Club "Remove Indian Mynahs" project in 
Cairns for some weeks and thus far there has been 3,000 plus removed.
    Cairns Men's Shed has made up 225 traps to date and there is a good 
public acceptance of the fact that this introduced species is a real 
problem, hence the good results.
    Three members of the "Men's Shed" have captured 1500 birds between 
them. Broad estimate of numbers in the Cairns area has been put at 250,000.
    It's very pleasing that an organisation like the Rotary Club is 
fostering this project as it then stands a chance for continued success 
in regional Australia.
