## Resource

The common myna, once brought to Australia to control bugs, has turned into a major invasive pest—aggressive, nest-stealing, and now surging back in numbers despite years of community-led efforts. CIMAG, the group fighting this battle, saw success reducing mynas from third to twenty-fourth most common, but now faces a crisis: a waiting list for traps and stalled government action. Though officially declared a pest in 2021, the government won’t prioritize control unless native reserves are directly threatened—ignoring the fact these birds overrun backyards nationwide. Complicating matters further, there’s no consensus on humane removal methods, with CIMAG’s approach clashing with the RSPCA’s stance. The result? A clear problem with no clear solution.
