Animal Pest Alert – Common Myna
The Common Myna or Mynah (Acridotheres tristis) is also known as the Indian, Calcutta or House Myna. It is not native to Australia but has established populations in eastern and south-eastern Australia, as well as other countries worldwide. The Common Myna has significant potential to spread further in Australia as populations are expanding south in [...]

Aspects of the ecology of the common myna (Acridotheres tristis)
The predicted future distribution, habitat selection and interspecific competition of the Common Myna was investigated in this study. The potential distribution of the species was modelled using the BIOCLIM computer modelling package. Mynah abundance was found to increase with the age of a suburban habitat. Mynas were also found to significantly select habitats with a [...]

BIR001: Shooting of Pest Birds
Shooting is used either to directly reduce numbers of pest birds through killing or more commonly as a scaring or dispersal strategy. Shooting may have short-term advantages but the technique is often labour intensive, opportunistic and may have limited value in bird control. This standard operating procedure (SOP) is a guide only; it does not [...]

BIR002: Trapping of Pest Birds
The aim of trapping is to reduce bird numbers in order to minimise the damage done to crops etc. However the process is often labour intensive, opportunistic and may have limited value in bird control. After trapping, pest birds are humanely killed. This standard operating procedure (SOP) is a guide only; it does not replace [...]

Eradication of Common Mynas
The common myna (Acridotheres tristis) is native to the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka, but has invaded (with human help) many islands in the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans – as well as New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. In many Pacific islands, mynas are often the most common birds seen around towns and villages. [...]

Humane pest animal control: Code of Practice and Standard Operating Procedures
This publication meets the pressing need for pest animal control methods which are humane, target specific, cost-effective and safe for humans to use. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) discuss animal welfare impacts for target and non-target species and describe techniques and their application, as well as covering health and safety aspects. A Code of Practice (COP) [...]

Indian Myna Birds
Indian Mynas are very aggressive and intelligent birds that are known to evict native birds; including parrots, kookaburras and peewees from their nests, dump out their eggs and chase them away from their roosting areas. In urban habitats they are considered to be a threat to the long-term survival of these birds and other native [...]

Indicator: Pest animals
Pest animals remain a potentially significant threat to biodiversity in the ACT despite measures for their control and management. The ACT Vertebrate Pest Management Strategy (2002) forms the basis for vertebrate pest control in the ACT. Fox and rabbit numbers appear to be toward the lower end of their historical range; deer, pigs and goats [...]

Live capture of pest animals used in research
Research involving pest animals may require the live capture, restraint and handling of individual animals. Wild animals may try to avoid capture, handling and restraint during which they are capable of inflicting damage to themselves and their potential captors. When physical contact is necessary, the safety of animals and operators should be the primary consideration. [...]

Modelling the distribution of vertebrate pests in New South Wales under climate change
This project, funded by the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre on behalf of the New South Wales Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water, develops and applies tools to model the distribution and abundance of vertebrate pest species in relation to climatic and biophysical variables. Such models are needed to predict how the distribution of [...]

Protecting our national parks from pests and weeds
Invasive species (weeds and pest animals) represent one of the greatest threats to biodiversity around the world. They also cause financial losses to agriculture and other industries, and damage areas of cultural significance. Managing the impacts of pests is therefore an issue of great importance for the managers of all land tenures. The problem requires [...]

Review of the management of feral animals and their impact on biodiversity in the Rangelands: A resource to aid NRM planning
The Pest Animal Control Cooperative Research Centre (PAC CRC) was commissioned by the Australian Department of the Environment and Heritage to review feral animal management for biodiversity outcomes in the Rangelands. This review was undertaken to help guide future Natural Heritage Trust spending on feral pest management and control in the Rangelands. The outcomes of [...]
