These are feral bird here in Australia and looking them up they seem to be getting worse.
They are not in all area's but where they are they are bad.
Now to the good side of them is I think they make a nice photo.
The only thing you need to do is to get the to stop for a couple of seconds.
They are not scared of us humans but they are always on the go.
So to get the perfect shot is I think quite hard to get.

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

I am willing to learn and will listen to what other have to say.
But if I don't like it, never take offense to it.
It is just something that I may not like.

Invasive species are rarely good. These birds are a serious threat to some of Australia's ecosystems.

From what I have read about them they are really bad as has been said.
They are an introduce bird here and they are as a friend said, they are the Rats of the skys.
