Radio Interview from 107.2 FM

“Indian Myna Birds - Fauna Ferals in the City”

Why are these birds, called the farmers' friends in their native India, regarded as such a scourge in Australia?

Basically because they love the human way of life. Replacing bush and forest with open parklands and mown lawns creates a Myna heaven.

Gail Spina brings us up to date on current behavioural research at Griffith University in their quest for this species' Achilles heel.
