There is a group in Canberra dedicated to cutting the numbers of indian
mynas. There is probably no hope of eradication, but their efforts tip
the balance back to the natives a bit.

Their website contains a lot of useful info, including a trap.

If you look at the Presidents Report for 2008-09, you will see that since
the project started Indian Myna numbers have dropped dramatically. when the
project started they were the 3rd most abundant bird in Canberra and at the
time of the report, they'd dropped to the 12th most abundant bird.

That's pretty impressive.
