Thread: Indian myna birds,

Following on from Eddie,
Put a cage in the backyard with a facade of a mine tunnel in front of it and a sign saying;

"Mynahs Wanted, must have experience in a large Bank or Telecommunications Call Centre." (This will allow the noisy mynahs to twig and escape.)
When the cage is full ship the birds back to India as illegal immigrants. Maybe you could save the legs for Wongo.

Fruit fly spray or any other good insectacid on something tasty. But be careful you dont kill yourself.

I neither like nor hate cats but I do know that panadol crushed up in milk will kill 'em deader than dead. But if you want to discourage them from entering your yard then go buy some nice expensive cat food and lace (ie soak it in tabasco sauce) let the blighters have a good tummy full and I promise you you will never see them again.

But if you have your own cats be careful they dont have any cos it really does do nasty things to their tummys and bums!!

These are good sparrow traps, and can catch other types of birds as well, alive and safe. If another bird type is caught, it can be used for a short while to lure the aggresive Mynah's to hunt that bird away. I had a similar trap that worked well back in the 1950's.

Good challenge for the woodworkers as well.
