Noisy Miners are grey, indian Mynas are brown

Yeah it’s definitely a noisy miner. Which is why I can’t kill it (though yesterday there was a pack of four of them buzzing outside my office at home). Rehoming sounds like a good option…might have to dig a slightly bigger home now though.
Asking for a friend…
How would you go about actually killing one though? I doubt any of us have access to a handy .22 rifle (and living in the city, there’s the issue about missing and sending a bullet through the Neighbours kitchen window…)
Unless you’re devising some form of trap for them?
Legal?
I didn’t think you could have any character that’s not a letter or a number on there? I assume that may have to change soon. I remember an article about 5-6 years ago saying the combination of letters and numbers was running out.
When we were kids we disposed of indian minors with a shanghai and and a fist filull of macadamia nuts.
I’m not sure what a Shanghai is other than a City in China.
Macadamia nuts are more expensive than bullets. 
The In-Laws neighbor new that they loved flying through a specific hole in his hedges. He sometimes stood there with a tennis racket…
Lleyton Hewitt must have been an awful neighbor to have.

It looked to have been added in as it wasn’t symmetrical.
I’m too soft, I could never harm a bird even if it was annoying the fuck out of me

A shanghai is what the Seppos call a slingshot. We had a macadamia tree in the yard so ammo was cheap.
I’m not sure how true it is but my father taught me Indian minors were cunts, that they kick other birds eggs out of their nests and steal nests and it was imperative that we irradicated them from the yard to bring natives back.

I dont like the idea of harming things needlessly until it is pointed out that they may be a threat to native species, in which case i will launch whatever is in arms reach with an ‘arm like a goddamn cannon’
Its maybe the only nationalistic quality i have.

Let me check with our cat.
One time he brought one in under our bed and I got him to drop it and it was still alive and we got it out successfully.
Soon as the cat went outside again, they were all on him. Bolshy as all fuck, dem birds.

BYD Seal comes out sometime this year. Comes in AWD.
And it’s electric so you can pretend to be Buck Rogers.
The performance model is interesting but I’m not sure I could ever bring myself to drive a car called Build Your Dreams.
At the price, in comparison to other things.
I could live with it.
I don’t want an electric, yet, unfortunately.
This is partly self-inflicted from actually watching FTA, but whoever wrote and decided to play that I’m A Celebrity song and dance promo a bazillion times deserves a fate far worse than death. If only Steve Irwin had actually fed Bob to that croc.

I once in a blue moon check a FTV produced show just to remind my self why i stopped.
I once tried to watch an episode of MAFs once.
Within 5 minutes, I understood why ISIS and Al-Queada like blowing themselves up.
The exact same feeling I got when I was silly enough to see what all the hype over Jersey Shore was about.
