How do I get rid of Indian Minor birds that are invading my backyard?

I have a lot of native Australian birds in my yard and in the area. Lately I have noticed a group of Indian Minors are trying to move in. They are horrible birds and I am afraid will scare away the tiny finches and other natives that are a pleasure to see and hear. Is there anything I can do?

Tim - don't think it hasn't crossed my mind.

The quickest and easiest is to feed them far away from the ones you like to watch.

I assume you mean Minah birds.

Yes,unfortunately i have them also in my back yard,i have a family of 6 Peewees that come every day, and i have a bird bath for them i clean it every day and refill it,they are a great little bird.The minahs crap all over the washing and in the bird bath, and the bar b q and tables and chairs.Also had lice in the clothes on the line
I am heartily sick of them.The are cheeky and persistent, and if i could do it legally i would kill them. they seem to be afraid of nothing.
