Probably not much, possibly aviary bred I would probably sell them for 100- $150 a pair, most people would think they would be just 'Trapped', so they would be turned off themBrisbane_Finches_333 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2019, 12:45 That'd be interesting. Dunno how much they'd sell for though.

Yeah, people probably would. Where would you get the captive mynah from in the first place? On the other hand mynahs would make a good pet 'cause they can mimic people and animals.

I must be on another planet,what does keeping Indian Mynas do with "The Future in Aviculture"maybe
Aust. aviculture has sunk to a new low when people even consider trying to breed Rats with Wings.
The damage they do in particular down in the south is horrendous.

I have no idea. Well, we were talking about birds kept cruelly in other countries because that's what animal activists think and then we talked about birds there; and that's what led us to the mynah.

minimise the risks associated with invasive plants and animals under their control. Local governments have a biosecurity plan that covers invasive plants and animals in their area
Queensland has whole companies dedicated to removing invasive weeds from waterways (to save the Platypus) and planting Koala feed trees. So local governments can meet their obligations. This is great for the environment and employment. And while not related to aviculture, it is related to the future of australian wildlife.
Sad that on "The Chase" today the only birds the contestants could think of when asked what variety of birds " Gloster and Red Factor" were, were parrotts, budgies and weerios. Duh folks, think Canaries.

I understand where you are going E Orix, bu then again, there are quite a fair few breeders now breeding the two species of sparrows (Tree and House), and back in the day, there was a bounty on them and their eggs, and there still his one in western australia i believe. My father used to get paid as a young fella to eradicate them from peoples roofs as they used to spread lice.
Thanks
