Justification for EICAT assessment


In Israel, the Burmese myna agressively competes with Syrian woodpeckers and Eurasian scops owls for nest cavities, and has been observed replacing these native species from nest cavities. However, there is no evidence to demonstrate that this has caused declining populations of the native species(Orchan et al., 2013).
