Breed millions of pythons in captivity. Sterilize the males - chemically or via radiation - and then release the sterile males into the wild. Bye-bye baby pythons. After reading about this technique being used to control mosquito populations if I remember correctly the number of sterile males doesn’t even have to be that large (compared to the overall population) to push the birthrate way down.

“Bye-bye baby pythons.”

Yes, except they’ll kill all the native and rare birds before they die out - which would take years and years.
