That's what happened in my back yard too. I set up a birdbath and within a disappointingly short space of time, I'm talking about an hour, I had those Indian Myna birds bullying away all the birds I sought to attract. Not wanting those pests to set up camp, I relocated it to the side way where it is now a very shallow bee drinking station (too much human activity in close proximity for birds so they don't use it).
