Indian Myna Birds

 

The Indian Myna has been declared the second greatest threat to native birds after land clearing. It's currently spreading through eastern Australia and its arrival signals a disastrous change to come in local bird populations. This extremely aggressive bird chases out native birds and small tree dwelling marsupials such as feather-tailed gliders.
