So, I'm pretty much over the myna bird. They seemed charming and cute when we were in Thailand. Now in Melbourne, they are all over and are worse then pigeons. Apparently in the 1860s, somebody had the bright idea to introduce them as insect control for the markets. They didn't do a very good job of that but adapted quite well to urban life and then just became incredibly invasive and negatively impacted a lot of the other native species. Oops.
