De Brazza Guenon with indian mynah

December 2009

Was the myna sharing the exhibit with him? And did he actually eat it at the end?

wow ! Good on the guenon though dealing with an invasive species

@Onychorhynchus coronatus Hmm didn't know this was an invasive species in Australia. I first thought he shared the exhibit with the guenon.

@David Matos Mendes Yes, this myna species is invasive in a lot of places in the Pacific and Australasia unfortunately.

@David Matos Mendes The guenon was actually (unintentially of course) doing some invasive species control .

No, I'm not 100% sure but I wouldn't think guenons wouldn't be able to be kept with smallish birds as like most monkeys they will occasionally eat adults of these in the wild if they can catch them (more frequently their eggs and nestlings though).

Yes, this was a wild bird that flew into the exhibit and got a little too close to the guenon. And in Australia these birds are considered a noxious invasive.
