"Bundaberg Regional Council offers a bounty of $2 per head for Indian mynas, delivered alive and unharmed. It humanely kills them and some are sent to the Snakes Downunder Reptile Park in Childers, where crocodiles consider them a tasty treat."
Crocs like dogs, cats , magpies and garlic bread and can smile as they nibble your hand.

The kids should be doing well...$5 apiece plus traps on free loan.

Years ago kids did it for free with the help of cute little Daisy or Diana.

And it should be free.
Indian coal miner Adani has been seeking a $900-million loan to build the railway line but Qld won't give handouts.

NNN, I have set a number of traps myself, but unfortunately without much success. All I've managed to snare thus far. is a pair of Mormons, a parcel delivery guy and a pizza boy! Alas, not one Indian Miner. I did take that odd quartet out the back and disposed of them humanly, with a length of 4 by 2 that is.
However there have been some fringe benefits, I'm on chapter 3 of the 'Book Of Mormon', and the 'Pepperoni P' wasn't half bad, but I don't know what to so with the pair of size 6 'stilettos' off E-bay, too bloody small!

Please advise, where I am going wrong?

You're clearly setting your traps in the wrong place. Try the CBD, where a canny poacher can pot upwards of two a dozen slow-waddling bankers on good day, and if you're very lucky, a Member of the Legislative Council... maybe even the elusive 'Dinosaurus Riddikulus', the rare Fred Nile Bird. It's believed by some to be last of its kind in existence.

A bit harsh, Paul. You shouldn't beat the messenger. That being said, I don't why you held back on the Mor(m)ons.

Fully agree , they can be fed into crocodiles although there's a health hazard getting the croc into tins. Pepperoni makes them snappy.
