Show Notes
Night-time shooting proves effective in controlling invasive little corella populations on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Skilled marksmen target sleeping birds, reducing numbers while minimizing disturbance. The birds, native to northern Australia but invasive in the region, cause damage to farms, trees, and school grounds, and compete with endangered glossy black cockatoos for nesting sites. Local leaders emphasize the need for early summer action and long-term control measures, including better resources and collaboration among agencies. A new bait for pest birds in grain fields is also being developed.
