In 1862, the common myna was brought to Melbourne to control crop pests and is now one of only three birds listed among the world’s 100 worst invasive species
Introduced to control pests, the Common myna now thrives in urban areas. This opportunistic bird competes aggressively with native species for nesting sites. Its flexible diet includes fruits and grains, posing risks to agriculture. Large communal roosts create noise and droppings, causing maintenance issues. Managing these invasive populations requires community participation and habitat restoration.
