Indian mynas were introduced to control pest insects but now they are the pest: Collateral harm

The Indian myna out-competes native birds for food and nesting sites, destroying eggs and chicks.

They are rapidly spreading over the entire Bellingen Shire and no one is actively doing anything to control the pest... >>

From poultry flu to wild bird flu - H5N1

* "Every outbreak of bird flu in Australian from 1976 to 2024 has arisen on a large, commercial poultry farm."
https://poultry-research.sydney.edu.au/bird-flu-must-knows/

* A suspected bird flu case was detected on mainland Australia

"Australia had been the last continent free of this deadly strain of bird flu."

"Infection usually happens after close contact with infected poultry — for example, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese – or contaminated environments."

"In the US, for example, since the arrival of this virus they've had to cull and destroy over 200 million chickens."

"In February 2025 the H7N8 strain was detected at multiple poultry farms in Victoria's north-east." >>

@ash When might you be visualising the unsustainable level of investment by billionaires in industrial agriculture that cause these mice plagues, along with "unsustainable levels" of native birds? ⬇️

"Mice have been running amok on Australian grain farms since the 1880s and plagues tend to break out every four to five years after plentiful rain."

Perhaps time for prevention?

Lucky night: we spotted two kiwis in Tāwharanui Regional Park (and heard heaps).
First wild kiwis ever for the friends who came with us.

Juxtaposition in my feed just now.

"Small steps to make your home a habitat for birds" indeed.

New Zealand Garden Bird Survey

28 June – 6 July 2025

For this you're asked for the grueling, devastating, terrible hardship of sitting in a nice spot for an hour and keeping track of how many birds you see.

A weka and her curious chick forage side by side at Lake Mahinapua - West Coast, NZ

These flightless birds are full of personality—and part of what makes New Zealand’s native wildlife so special.
