Undertake an analysis of past attempts at avian control focusing on myna birds (Acridotheres tristis) and compile these into a comprehensive analysis of techniques and lessons learned. Based upon this study, convene a workshop of relevant practitioners in avian control techniques and collectively develop a state-of-art tool kit that can be used in future, drawing upon the approaches pioneered on Atiu in the Cook Islands.

Strategic Direction: 1 Prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species in key biodiversity areas
