(Although they are very aggressive to other birds)My two least favourite are the Currawong and the Indian miner. I work on a Fairy-wren sp., and the Currawongs are a constant nest predator, frustrating my nest-finding efforts! They are a very common nest predator of small birds in modified habitats. The Indian miners are your typical annoying introduced competitor, taking nest-holes from native birds. They have a horrible habit of filling up multiple nest-holes with rubbish, and then nesting somewhere else - and what's worse, is they have such a cocky attitude when doing it! (now that's an annoying call...)</blockquote>
