Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap

Hi again,
I saw that there was a link to this specific trap, but for those of you who do not have it, the Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap (www.sparrowtrap.net) is absolutely the way to go. It is my go-to trap on almost any HOSP situation. The price is not terribly expensive, and I think you'll find that once you buy it, it is "worth its weight in gold!"
Of course, you will be needing a decoy live sparrow in the trap at all times in order for it to work efficiently. Anyways, if you don't have this trap, please get it and I think you will be very happy and surprised.
Just a tip,
Bret

That's true, that trap seems to be the trap of traps these days. A little too easy for me but it certainly does the trick.

I started my trapping progression by building a Deluxe Repeating Sparrow trap. It was easy enough to make and I was able to see its short comings.

Birds are scared of it. Unless the pivot is perfect you are going to make a lot of trap shy birds.

Birds flitting about in cage draw a lot of attention.

Neighbors notice the trap.

Catches and can stress out native birds.

Who wants to handle sparrows with their hands?

And now that you caught them what do you plan to do with them?

Its time to build a better trap.
