I have Indian Minor Birds nesting in my Laundry roof and they have just had babies. I did not mind at first, I was a little worried about bird lice at first but as the laundry is outside I left them. Now they are getting really aggressive and attacking my kitty everytime he steps one foot outside, or when he is eating or even when he is sitting on the windowsill! Maybe if he was not such a pansy, he would take care of them himself! But I have tried putting him up in the hatch with them and he just jumps down..
Because Indian Minors are a pest in Australia, can you kill them?
I dont really want to, I would rather relocate them but some people have told me that they just come back!
Help me, and my poor cat! He is so stressed out!

I forgot to mention that - I live in Sydney Australia and they are EVERYWHERE!!! They attack and kill the other Native Minors and steal other birds nests! My Husband hates them and wants to buy a BB Gun ha ha.

Indian Minor birds are literally an introduced pest to Australia vet have the rights to put them to sleep as they are classed as Vermin, they wont be coming back after that. Either that or ring Wild life fauna rescue they may be able to help but because they are not natives they probably wont. Ring the Animal management section or environmental health office at you local council and kick up a stink until someone does something about them.
They are rotten to the core and in some respects are worse than Magpies as they seem to swoop all year round.

I have witnessed the very same thing, but in my case the bird would swoop down on our cat an peck her in the butt! It was very halarious at the time but thinking back my cat was prolly agitated by the whole experience.We later found out that there was a nest near by that the mother bird was protecting an took some time before my cat could roam the yard again. You should look into finding the nest an carefully relocating it or jus keep the cat inside as much as possible..

In N america we have crows. nuicence birds. Dirty & noisey. If minor birds are protected you can't do anything. I know if you put moth balls in an area alot of rodents will move out. Babys will be grown soon & gone!

This is another good example why cats are better off living inside only. There are so many dangers out there and cats live longer and healthier if kept inside.
If you care about your cat then keep it inside.
