It's interesting how one community sees the rainbow lorikeet as an invasive pest that needs to be eliminated and another community is carefully redesigning buildings to save the poor rainbow lorikeets.
All native wildlife in Australia is protected -- cute cuddly and deadly poisonous animals equally.
Lizards, spiders and insects found in a home are often caught and released outside in the garden rather than killed (especially the huge huntsman spiders we get here which are harmless to humans). I'll even catch and release cockroaches rather than kill them.

I would guess that even if they aren't an an endangered species, dealing with dead and injured birds daily is a nuisance. Simple measures like this, less nuisance in the long run.
