You can download the Indian Myna Handbook which provides information (that is also presented on this website) to help you:
• Identify the Indian Myna • Understand the behaviours and habits of Indian Mynas • Stop the invasion in your own backyard • Use Myna traps • Ensure humane handling of captured birds
In winter months Mynas form a large colony, sleep in a communal roost tree and travel in groups, in regular patterns, seeking food. If Mynas come to your yard and you want to borrow a trap contact your local Council or Landcare Group.
Hastings Landcare, Manning Landcare and Great Lakes Network have joined forces to treat the Indian Myna problem across the Mid North Coast region. The Education project is funded by Hunter Central Rivers CMA. There will be educational material online, factsheets on paper and a members forum to discuss all Myna matters. Watch for news of trap making workshops and training sessions across the region.
A set of six educational postcards are now avaiable from Councils and Landcare Offices and participating businesses and organistaions. The postcards can also be viewed and downloaded below.
Please note, the images in the postcards are high quality for printing purposes but this makes the file size very large.
