The kids should be doing well...$5 apiece plus traps on free loan.
"Indian Myna Bird Bounty Program ..Bundaberg Regional Council has announced that a $5 bounty would be paid for every Indian Myna which was trapped and bought into Council alive and in good condition. Council has a number of myna traps available for loan, at no cost, to the public as part of this latest approach, to find out how you can access these traps and get involved in the program contact a Council Land Protection Officer on 1300 883 699." http://www.bundaberg.qld.gov.au/environment/natural-resources/land-protection/programmes 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. Posted by nicknamenick, Sunday, 10 September 2017 9:18:39 AM

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? Posted by Paul1405, Sunday, 10 September 2017 9:55:03 AM

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. //I did take that odd quartet out the back and disposed of them humanly, with a length of 4 by 2 that is.// 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. Posted by Toni Lavis, Sunday, 10 September 2017 10:34:10 AM

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

Crocs like dogs, cats , magpies and garlic bread and can smile as they nibble your hand.
