Trap success (overall, 0.04 birds per trap per day) peaked early in the effort and slowly declined. Trap specificity was high (83.8%) and similar between bait types. Dry cat food captured more Common Myna, and a similar assemblage of animals, to dry dog food. Bread baits captured a broader assemblage of animals. The community-led trapping programme reduced the mean density of Common Myna and achieved high target specificity with relatively few unintended trap deaths. While long-term impacts on the population of Common Myna or native birds are yet to be analysed, the results suggest that ongoing effort is required for population suppression.en© 2017 Ecological Society of Australia and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.Common Myna; community involvement; cull; suppression; trappingJournal article003007853010.1111/emr.122690004107718000132-s2.0-85029528332370881
