# Blackbirds are a potential horticultural pest in QLD. Biosecurity Queensland (BQ) .://..dpi.qld.gov.au/26_4823.htm requires ongoing, reliable data to develop and implement informed pest bird control policies. TBO gathers blackbird data on BQ's behalf. You can help by continuing to report all QLD blackbird sightings. Please use the link at:
