If you live in Canberra, you’ve almost certainly heard the distinctive screech of sulphur-crested cockatoos. These intelligent, charismatic birds are a beloved part of the Australian landscape — until they turn their powerful beaks on your property.

European starlings are one of Canberra’s most problematic pest birds.
