They spread seed and disease, bother outside resteraunts and wake people in the morning! Some even attack people and mess their hairdoos up! Yep they gotta go, plus they can be killed, not just uglied up like the guava trees! and the results will be visible, unlike coqui who can hide! "Kill a Mynah for Mother Earth"
The remains could be traded for a bounty (mabe 50c each). The carcasses could be used for fertilizer (like fish for corn), and we will have the quietest island of them all! Very Green!
qtill, you are kidding right? Sometimes I think you must be, but then I can't be sure...
Guaivi is definitely a pain in the butt to keep sequestered, but it's a quick growing source of wood too... I'm in a love/hate relationship with it, great to use to build pens, garden beds, smoke meat with, eat the fruit, awful because it is SO vigorous.
But still, people spread disease, seeds, pollution and disruption far more than birds. Let's ERADICATE THEM!!! They aren't native anyway!!! ER.... seems there might be a small problem with this way of thinking...
Dead bird carcasses as fertilizer??!! [xx(] I'll stick with chicken poo, thanks... Hopefully my neighbors do too...
