(1)There is no programmed cull of the introduced white corella. Introduced white corella control by Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) staff has generally occurred opportunistically while undertaking other control programs.
(a) No.
(2)DEC is focussing its feral bird control efforts on control of the introduced Rainbow Lorikeet and is having considerable success in containing that species, with assistance from the Department of Agriculture and Food.
