repto Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 no worse than the mynahs,blackbirds,waxeyes,rosellas,etc,etc that are already here?they seem to have managed to get rid of the rainbow lorikeets that were starting to breed up there.Maybe their gregarious habits went against them.The bulbuls may be a different matter.?
