Gippsland Indian Myna Bird Action Group

Gippsland Indian Myna Bird Action Group Spreading awareness and take an active stand in controlling the aggressive Indian Myna Bird which is threatening the native bird species of Australia.

One of the major problems with the Indian Myna Birds is that they compete with our native fauna for nesting hollows. Indian Mynas are very aggressive and will evict other birds and small mammals from occupied hollows. Furthermore, they don’t just occupy one hollow but will use surrounding hollows as decoys. The fact that mynas build a nest within these hollows (unlike native species) renders them

unusable by local fauna until the nests break down. Their impact on biodiversity is such that they have been listed by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) as one of the world’s 100 Worst Invasive Species and some consider them to be the second greatest threat to birds after land clearing. These birds are considered a non-declared animal pest with an action priority.
