Common Mynas were introduced from India to eat insect pests in crops. This was a total failure in the same way as the introduction of Cane Toads was a disaster.
Common Mynas are communal nesters. The whole flock assists in driving away competitors and feeding young. Because of this they are very successful and numbers can increase quickly. Mynas nest in tree hollows. They will eat anything, seed, insects, pet foods, human food scraps. Most native species have more specific diets than Mynas.
Common Mynas are quite aggressive. They attack native birds, killing them, depriving them of nesting hollows, killing nestlings and fledglings and competing for food resources.
Common Myna numbers are growing. They are expanding their range in many places, especially in S.E. Qld. If they continue to do so we will see far fewer native birds around our homes, towns and cities.
Common Mynas should be discouraged by depriving them of food sources, chasing them from yards and disturbing them when they try to nest. A hose works wonders. Some city and town councils are investigating ways to reduce their numbers. Please encourage your elected council officers to think this way.

Noisy Miners, sometimes called Mickey Birds, should not be confused with Common Mynas. Noisy Miners are native honeyeaters. They are related to Bell Miners, often called Bellbirds. They are gregarious, and flock together. They are intolerant of other birds in their territory. They are quite aggressive, and if one is involved in a fight, they will all join in. They drive away small bush birds, particularly if there is not suitable cover for them.
Noisy Miners breed all the year around if food is available and the whole tribe helps raise the young and bring food for them. They can increase in numbers very quickly.
They are Honeyeaters and one of their main foods is nectar from flowers, though they eat a variety of other foods. In suburban gardens which have flowering plants all year round, they can settle in one place, breed, and build up their numbers.
Providing artificial nectar feeders for birds will invariably increase Miner numbers.

Rock Doves, or feral pigeons, are descended from homing and fancy pigeons kept for sport and as pets. They are very adaptable, and built environments provide suitable nest sites for them.
Their plumage is quite variable, reflecting their ancestry as exhibition birds. They should not be confused with various species of native doves and pigeons which are also present in or near cities and towns, such as Crested Pigeons, Bar-shouldered Doves, Peaceful Doves and Brown Cuckoo-Doves.
Spotted Doves (sometimes called Turtle or Indian Doves) also introduced, are common, but do not appear to pose a threat to native species. Their familiar “coor-par-ooo” call in often heard in gardens.
Rock Doves are a problem to our health as they can exist in large numbers in towns and cities and leave huge amounts of droppings. Their presence in cities is encouraged by the many people who actively feed them, as well as by the presence of food scraps.

Here is another bird that may be a pest to you, if you have house sparrows problems, read on.
House Sparrows
- Identification- The House Sparrow is a small, stocky bird that is not a true sparrow but belongs to the family called weaver finches. The house sparrow is 5 to 6 inches long with a conical bill and brown and grey feathers. The male has a black throat and white crown, while the female has a white throat and dull eye stripe. Sparrows build messy nests of twigs, string, paper, and grass in any covered, elevated spots, typically in larger buildings such as warehouses, stadiums, and airport hangars. Sparrows primarily eat grain, but they also feed on fruit, seeds, insects, livestock feed, and discarded food scraps. House sparrows have become very dependent on humans for food and shelter, and they nest, roost, and feed in large groups within a range of one to two miles.
- Sparrow Problems- Sparrows can be difficult to control because of their rapid breeding. Sparrow flocks are aggressive enough to drive out other, more desirable bird species. Sparrows’ nests in electrical areas may cause shorts and fires, and congregations in poultry and hog farm facilities pose serious feed contamination threats. House sparrows are associated with over 25 diseases and many ectoparasites.
- Getting Rid of Sparrows
-
- Food sources in particular should be as inaccessible as possible, particularly in urban areas such as commercial dumpsters and fast food parking lots.
- Scare products have little effectiveness on sparrow populations.
- Exclusion such as bird netting is highly effective in preventing sparrow nesting.
- A tactile repellent such as 4 The Birds Repellent Gel may be applied to ledges, sills, roofs, peaks, cornices, bridges, and overpasses to deter birds from landing.

Here is one of the noisy bird that can infest you home, here are some way to deal with starling problems.
Starlings
- Identification- The European Starling) is an introduced species that causes problems in urban and rural areas. The adult starling is about 8″ long (about the size of a robin) with a short tail and long bill. In winter, the starling has a dark bill and an iridescent coat speckled with white dots. In summer, the starling’s bill is yellow, and the coat is duller, mostly green and purple, and less speckled. Starlings travel in flocks of up to thousands, and they nest and feed in a variety of areas. In urban areas, starlings nest in trees, exhaust vents, marquees, and hollow lamp posts, and on ledges, lighted signs, billboards, and soffits. In rural areas, starlings tend to nest on farm building ledges and in tree cavities. Starlings feed on a variety of sources, depending on the season and availability. These food sources include seeds, fruit, food scraps, insects, and crops of cereal, fruit and vegetables.
- Starling Problems- The most bothersome side effects of a starling population are intense vocalization and fecal accumulation. Starlings are also quite aggressive and may drive out other desirable bird species. Starling feces deface and deteriorate structures, cause slipping hazards, contaminate livestock feed, and even kill trees with significant buildup. Starlings leave behind nesting materials that clog machinery, cause drainage problems, and clutter structures. Starlings carry diseases including encephalitis, histoplasmosis, and ornithosis.
- Getting Rid of Starlings:
-
- A tactile repellent such as 4 The Birds Repellent Gel may be applied to ledges, sills, roofs, peaks, cornices, bridges, and overpasses to deter birds from landing.
- 4 The Birds Liquid Repellent can be sprayed on beams, girders, struts, supports and other areas where birds land or roost. 4 The Birds can also be sprayed on trees, bushes, and vines (except for those that are in bloom or bearing fruit).

While there are lots of pests that crawls into your home, here is the most common pest bird that can fly in!
Pigeons
- Identification- The pigeon is the most common pest bird and is responsible for the worst public health concerns. The adult pigeon is about 11 inches long with a short neck, small head, and short legs. Pigeons can be identified by their blue-grey color and iridescent feathers on the head and neck. Pigeons nest on small, flat areas away from the ground, such as ledges, air conditioning units, pipes, and window sills. Pigeons eat a varied diet of grains, discarded food, and livestock feed and manure, and they must have water daily to survive.
- Pigeon Problems- Besides the general nuisance of large flocks in public spaces, pigeons’ feces deface structures, accelerate deterioration, and cause slipping hazards. Their crude nesting debris clogs machinery. Pigeons are known to carry numerous diseases including pigeon ornithosis, encephalitis, and histoplasmosis, as well as various ectoparasites. Pigeons adapt very easily to manmade environments and may travel up to five miles between nesting and roosting sites, making a settled flock quite challenging to move.
- Getting Rid of Pigeons- Because of their homing capabilities and habitual instincts, captured and released pigeons will simply find their way back to the original nesting site. Moved flocks quickly adapt and settle in new environments, so visual and auditory scare devices are less effective the more established the roost.
-
- Food and water sources in particular should be as inaccessible as possible.
- A tactile repellent such as 4 The Birds Repellent Gel may be applied to ledges, sills, roofs, peaks, cornices, bridges, and overpasses to deter birds from landing.
- 4 The Birds Liquid Repellent can be sprayed on beams, girders, struts, supports and other areas where birds land or roost. 4 The Birds can also be sprayed on trees, bushes, and vines (except for those that are in bloom or bearing fruit).
- Bird netting is one of the most effective pigeon control products as it excludes the birds from possible landing, roosting, and nesting areas.
