Common (Indian) Myna bird survey form

As part of a preventative approach to addressing the Common (or Indian) Myna bird, Council is looking to collect sighting and activity reports within the region.

These will be mapped to show the distribution of the pest birds, where "hot spots" exist and to identify possible nesting and roosting sites.

Bounty claims

Council has introduced a bounty claim system as an incentive to help reduce the impacts from feral pigs and wild dogs / dingoes / dingo hybrids.

All bounty claims must be taken to the Maryborough Landfill on Saltwater Creek Road, Maryborough.
