This study will identify sustainable means of limiting the domination of remnant native and planted woodland by the hyper-aggressive Noisy Miner. This species excludes insectivorous birds from remnant woodlands, contributing to the decline of birds in eucalypt woodlands in rural southern Australia. Halting the decline in insectivorous birds in our agricultural areas is critical if we are to ever achieve truly sustainable agricultural production. This study will identify habitat characteristics that can be manipulated by land holders to make remnants and plantations less suitable for Noisy Miners, while enhancing the re-establishment of other threatened birds.

这项研究将确定可持续的方法，限制超级好斗的吵闹矿工对剩余的本地和人工林地的统治。该物种将食虫鸟类排除在残余林地之外，导致澳大利亚南部农村桉树林地鸟类的减少。如果我们要实现真正可持续的农业生产，那么阻止农业地区食虫鸟类的减少至关重要。这项研究将确定土地所有者可以操纵的栖息地特征，使残余物和种植园不太适合吵闹的矿工，同时促进其他受威胁鸟类的重建。
