96 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Invasive birds can have serious impacts on native biodiversity, native ecosystems and humans. However, there is a dearth of literature on the status and effects of invasive birds in Southeast Asia. We review the current available information on the invasive bird species in Southeast Asia, first by discussing characteristics that likely make invasive bird species successful and second by reviewing the impacts of the invasive bird species on Southeast Asian economy and biodiversity. We end by discussing the strengths and weaknesses, as well as the applicability of different management options.

• Invasive species in Southeast Asia: the knowledge so far (2010, background): “…Java sparrow (Padda oryzivora, in Borneo), red avadavat (Amandava amandava, in Sumatra) and scaly-breasted munia (Lonchura punctulata, in the Philippines) occur, a considerable amount of ripened rice grains are consumed by these invasive birds in large flocks (Long 1981; Yap and Sodhi 2004).”
