Beating the Bullies: Managing Aggressive Manorinas to Restore Bird Assemblages

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

The composition of many eastern Australian woodland and forest bird assemblages is controlled by a single, hyper-aggresive native bird, the noisy miner Manorina melanocephala. The "Avifaunal disarry from a single despotic species" working group harnessed diverse existing datasets and used them to develop and test models of noisy miner occupancy and impacts. Two datasets are published based on the analysis and synthesis.
