Large Australian White Ibis colony on Myers Street, Sans Souci, Sydney, poses health and safety risks due to extensive droppings and potential pathogens.
Residents of Myers Street, Sans Souci, Sydney, are facing health and safety issues due to a large colony of Australian White Ibises inhabiting two gum trees. The birds' extensive droppings pose risks from pathogens like salmonella and avian influenza, making the area unsanitary and slippery. While the ibises are protected by law, the local council is considering revising its Tree Management Policy to address the infestation and potentially allow culling or relocation if necessary.
