Culling of kookaburras is being
considered in Tasmania, with new data showing the species, an introduced pest
in the island state, has spread to remote and wild areas.
The
latest BirdLife Tasmania surveys show laughing kookaburras, introduced shortly
after Federation to “unite the new nation”, have colonised new areas in the
island’s west, south and highlands for the first time.
“The
damage kookaburras do is absolutely phenomenal … They kill thousands of native
species. It costs taxpayers, over time, millions upon millions of dollars
because they are killing the same species that we are trying to save.”…..
