Corellas Invade Bunbury: Chaos at Sports Grounds

0:00Sydney's stories making news on March 16th, flocks of little Corellas are invading Bunbury, western Australia's largest regional city. These pests are stripping trees, damaging lights in sports grounds, and creating constant noise in gardens and parks. Even noise guns and traps haven't stopped them. At the multi-million dollar hands oval stadium, up to 400 birds roost unfazed by football sirens or clapping. Sports clubs are fed up after spending thousands on repairs. Football managers report chewed cables and ruin lights, while tennis players can hear over the racket from birds wrecking court fixtures. Meanwhile, the city of Bunbury is ramping up efforts with more trapping and deterrence. The mayor is urging residents to report flocksightings to better control the growing numbers. This chaos has hit the southwest before, from tower seals to synthetic turf over the past decade. Officials promise stronger measures as the birds return in force.
