We tried carrying him and putting him on the log but he would always come back down to the ground. However on Sunday, to our delight, Watney was spotted on the high log chillin...

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – NATIVE BIRDS DESERVE TO BE TREATED RIGHT
Several months ago, we looked into a case where a Mynah had its legs tied to the pole of a mop by a member of the public. The bird was left dangling and struggling for a couple of minutes outside the window of his flat before he released it.
We urged members of the public to refrain from harming our native species and provided ways to prevent them from entering your premises.
