In western New South Wales, the relative abundance of both diurnal birds of prey and house mice
was monitored at frequent intervals over a three-year period. The abundance of mouse-eating raptors
was positively correlated with that of house mice, and these birds appeared to be responding to
changes in mouse abundance. This suggests that the role of birds of prey should be considered in
future control strategies for rodent pests.
