Bird feeder is Fun !

Les...I just had a feeling you would be amazing in that capacity! It would be a joy to learn about this topic and actually get to see some of the many varities here!

Now - my question about the Indian or Common Myna was - from what I gather from my limited research they are an invasive species...Australia seems to really have a problem with the aggressive nature of this myna. I was really intrigued by them while on the island last week. Are they a problem here at all?

While we were driving Saddle Road, we kept seeing a bird that well, was lighter than the pheasants I am familiar with in the Northeast of the Mainland...and looked almost related to a quail - only much, much larger (and no "thingamabobber" on their heads, hehehehe)...were those pheasant do you think?

Oh - as an aside...I don't recall seeing any pigeons there! We have an awful time with them here in Arizona. They perch in our palm after we trim it and it grows enough and on the house...they nest under the air conditioner (which are on the housetops here) and lay eggs up there...some people have taken to BB guns to shoot 'em down...is there a pigeon population there?
