We have them. Last year the nesting pair (in our roof) decided to harass one of the cats. Not the hunter - it wasn't that dumb, but the other. It go to the point where she was scared to go out and it started to follow her back in the house.
So I ought a slingshot. We shot it with tomatoes and it stopped after about a week of that.

This year it knows what the slingshot is so would fly off but come back to harass the other birds and the cat the minute we went away.
Back to harassment etc.

We just took the spouting off and pulled it's disgusting nest out.
I got one stuffed full wheelbarrow of basically rubbish. Eucalyptus leaves and twigs, cabbage tree leaves and piles of chip packets, cigarette butts, plastic etc...

Not going to shoot it with tomatoes this time.
The hunter cat got the baby that fell out, so the male is now in next doors peach tree screaming.

1389260 2014-12-01 04:25:00 They have caused deaths and injuries in New Zealand especially Hawkes Bay where motorists have tried to run them over sober and pissed The trick to get them on a motorbike is swerve towards them and they start to stroll off the road, then swerve away Mynah thinks its safe then you swerve back and run the thing over. Quite hard to get in a car but can be done. prefect (6291)
1389261 2014-12-01 05:12:00 Use the old fashioned method... a box, a wooden stick to prop it up, a long piece of string and a place to hide.

Use some small bits of coal under the box for bait and when the Mynahs come for the coal, boom...you have got them.

My walking mate who is a cat lover, had to confess to me that his cat killed and brought home 2 Waxeyes last weekend.
