SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Cayman Islands has announced it will start culling feral cats to help save a dwindling colony of brown booby birds.

The islands’ Department of Environment said the culling will take place in the eastern region of Cayman Brac island, where only 13 brown booby fledglings out of 42 eggs survived last year.
