The Common Myna was originally introduced to Australia from Asia to control agricultural pests.
The Common Myna is now widespread and is often seen in urban areas around Noosa. There
is concern that they outcompete native animals for food and nesting hollows.
Although the Myna is not a scheduled species under the Biosecurity Act 2014, Council has been
helping volunteers to reduce populations through a community trapping program.

5.2.2 Timing of management actions
To maximise management effectiveness, pest animal control is undertaken subject to movement,
breeding and feeding patterns. For example foxes are controlled prior to turtle nesting. Table 7 below
depicts the seasonal nature of invasive animal species management.
