Common Myna in Adelaide? - and Barbary Doves

Thanks Peter

That's good to know.

I think you mean PIRSA (Department of Primary Industies and Resources, SA) 
rather than DPI (the Victorian version).  See:

Interesting, given the reported lack of interest by the SA State Government 
a few years ago, that the Barbary Dove is also on their list of declared 
pest animals at:
http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/biosecuritysa/nrm_biosecurity/pest_animal/sa_alert_pest_animals/sa_alert_pest_animal_list

The procedure is to notify the NRM Board so I have contacted the Adelaide 
and Mount Lofty Board about my sighting.
Just wondering if it is some sort of shared guilt about being from the area 
where Common Mynas were first introduced to Australia that you are 
interested in SA Mynas and that two of the three records on the SA Birdline 
are from myself and Matt Roach - both also members of little old Bayboca 
down here to the south of Melbourne !
