Research paper: Do Common Mynas significantly compete with native birds in urban environments?
In Australia, the introduced Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis) is commonly believed to aggressively displace native birds and outcompete them for food and nest resources. However, the current paucity of scientific evidence makes it difficult to devise appropriate management strategies for protection of urban bird populations. The Journal of Ornithology paper Do Common Mynas significantly compete with native birds in urban environments? investigates the way in which the Common Myna uses the urban environment and interacts with other species while foraging and nesting in Sydney, Australia.
