…no myna tragedy…
anon

Please excuse the appalling tardiness of the posting this important notice. Greatly to be applauded, in contrast, is this use of the local notices sign, at the Mahurangi West and Pukapuka roads intersection.

Major myna speaker, on Friday evening, is Tam Fraser, resident of Cowan Bay Road, who has considerable experience in controlling myna birds. Minor myna speaker and local-notices prime mover, Mike Neil, meantime reports:

…for my sins, I have been selected to speak—probably very badly.

Despite having been introduced into Aotearoa in the 1870s, the impact of myna on indigenous species is still unfolding. Being a tropical bird, anthropogenic global heating will likely further exacerbate their New Zealand impact.
