I have two of these traps and THEY WORK. I don't know who created them, but it's an absolutely genius plan. I average 10 to 12 of these vile little creatures a day and that's fine with me. I can tall by looking that some of them are just fledglings, but as long it's dead, I don't care. I feel like it's my duty to rid the world of as many of them as possible and this trap helps me achieve that goal.
They are food for other creatures, so NO its not "YOUR DUTY" to do ANYTHING. All your duty is to keep in check the population of these birds as to how much you can see in a day when you put grains for them and decide accordingly how much you can harvest.
. I am pretty ill and have begun feeding birds on my balcony and OMG.. the variety of birds I get in Howard Beach ( 16 miles to NYC) is incredible. TROPICAL BIRDS I had only seen in Cuba. How do they get here ?Tortolas, Love birds, Pigeons, some beatiful Red birds that are always together. It is TRULY fascinating and make me forget about my illness.
Must admit the first bird made me laugh the way it fell in all over the place ... Well the cage is big enough to allow them space for roaming, which is humane ..
If the trap was to catch the bird, treat it, feed it, and keep it away from people, then the matter would be humane. However, if the trap was to kill small birds or imprison them in a cage, then that would be a crime and barbarity.
It seems to me that the birds see all these other birds in the cage and instead of thinking it should leave, it seems to have a calming effect on the bird. I imagine the new approaching bird[s].must perceive that area as having a decent food source and due to many birds walking around, that it is safe. Unlike rabbits and pigeons they don't seem to have a "danger danger Will Robinson" way of letting others know of their problem. At least nothing I can see/hear. I think the trap is genius tho. It has to stand on the piece of wood to get enough height to jump up, but that's the thing holding him in there, and even if the little fella figured it out, he cant stand on the right or left, not enough space. At the end he is "relieved" to join the others in the "yard" lol. Anyway. good job brosef.
Brian Landers. But pigeons are protected so you can't legally kill them. House Sparrows and European Starlings are the only two birds in America that are considered "nuisance" or "trash" birds and you can kill all of them you want.
@@marlenalinne6100 : You don't know what you're talking about, pigeons aren't protected, I used to raise them when I was a lot younger. The meat is delicious, unlike chickens, that are raised by corporations and pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones to raise them faster. BTW, where in my original comment did I say anything about killing them? Your comprehension skills are nonexistent.
To keep it dry from the ground. Because ground wet. I have the same trap. If you place it dry area under a tree with dry branches would be an ideal place.
Old posts, but for anyone else lured by the algorithm. No, you shouldn't need a permit to kill House Sparrows virtually anywhere in North America, since they are considered an invasive species. They are not native, so they are not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty act. The same goes for Starlings too.
Four down and what, 80 million+ (I may be way off, there) more to catch? 😟 Every US homeowner should have house sparrow and European starling traps and monitor them from time to time, euthanize the invasive species and keep these birds in check. Give native species of birds a chance at survival.
@@geniusmarcsays2434 There are no other birds indoors - usually just one. If you want to catch sparrows go watch - "How to catch the most sparrows using sparrow trap door from Bird Barrier and funnel trap"
+mark moore I think maybe you need to adjust the counterbalance. You have to change it based on what you want to trap. Like starlings vs sparrows. Maybe a mouse weighs more than a sparrow.
Chuck Butler Thanks Chuck. It was a small mouse that probably weighed less than a house sparrow so I dunno. I need to try again and maybe try and watch what's happening.
mmm Sure. I sprayed a can of cheez whiz all over the f'n place and wondered why I couldn't catch a sparrow! Actually, the problem was with the counter balance like Chuck suggested. After adjusting it, I catch sparrows now, and sometimes a mouse will be in there too. Only problem is that the sparrows are NOT the house/English ones that I'm after so I have to release them. Why is it the pest species are so smart?
@@markmoore4088 Your question was from two years ago, but perhaps I can add some perspective. House sparrows are highly communal in nature, but they're also very wary. I spent the best part of three weeks luring the birds thus: Week 1, scattered bread bait around an open but un-baited cage trap; Week 1-2, scattering bait around a small cage trap with its sprung door open and no bait inside; Week 2-3, putting bait on the floor of the cage trap only, not on the hook; Week 3, baiting both the cage floor (sparingly) and hook - bingo! Day after day a sparrow would go for the hanging bait (white fat + a sliver of silver foil) and get caught. Most were males, and the best time of year was mating season when they were trying to 'show off' to the females.

Did you make the trip off of plans, or did you buy the trap someplace?
It is very unfortunate that there are people like you, who are ruthless 😔
They are food for other creatures, so NO its not "YOUR DUTY" to do ANYTHING. All your duty is to keep in check the population of these birds as to how much you can see in a day when you put grains for them and decide accordingly how much you can harvest.
That trap is thought out amazingly well.
Thanks for helping our natives ❤❤❤

Are you from Cuba?
Nice trap where do u buy them from
Great video,many more successful trapping days to you,thank you.
It's amazing how many go in, in such a short amount of time.
Must admit the first bird made me laugh the way it fell in all over the place ... Well the cage is big enough to allow them space for roaming, which is humane ..
It's a trap. What is a humane trap anyways?! He is gonna release the birds away from here it isn't there knew home...
+Talker Turtle Description says otherwise
But they will die anyways soon...
House sparrow traps don’t have to be humane because they are invasive
If the trap was to catch the bird, treat it, feed it, and keep it away from people, then the matter would be humane. However, if the trap was to kill small birds or imprison them in a cage, then that would be a crime and barbarity.
What is best bait for sparrows?Pop corn, bread,millet?
Any and all of those options would work out great 👍
Bread is the best. Using bread will keep you from capturing other protected species of birds. House sparrows LOVE bread.
Perfekt😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
What is best for cow birds?

hi there. cool trap. did you build it your self? can you provide a plan? whats the weight of a sparrow? cheers.
Good trap. Good job.
Nice trap where do u buy them from.
That is an awesome trap.
0:25 lol
That kind of trap would work great for pigeons, but it only needs to be bigger.

I guess I need to get a falcon. I am glad to see your trap on the ground, the recommendation is to raise it about a foot and I cannot figure out why.
To keep it dry from the ground. Because ground wet.
I have the same trap.
If you place it dry area under a tree with dry branches would be an ideal place.
@@naserazizi where did you get it from? Or did you build it?
what thats awsome how do u make one cool video btw
Ingenious!
Is a permit needed in the state of Louisiana to trap house sparrows?
Old posts, but for anyone else lured by the algorithm. No, you shouldn't need a permit to kill House Sparrows virtually anywhere in North America, since they are considered an invasive species.

I Want to Buy This Trap plz help me
Search under "Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap."
Current cost of the trap is $54.00 plus continental US shipping is about $16.00.
That one cost me around AUD150 to Australia.
@@naserazizi I wish shipping cost to and from Australia did not cost so much.
I tried it and it works very good :)

atleast put some food for the trapped ones in the cage!
If you want to get rid of em you don't trap em you shot em with an airgun
I hope u just trap them !!.. kindly don't harm them. god have given them wings to fly.
nice trap
Look up Sparrow Trap Door. That is a great trap!
No its not. It catches one bird and scares the others away

We bought one of those traps but all I ever caught was a mouse. Any idea why the sparrows didn't get caught?

Did you make it
??
how to??
How many do you catch per day? How can I make this trap?
ua-cam.com/video/yBPqxLlCgrI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=bruntdog Hope you found this one already
Where can I buy this?
I like the idea of big cages so the birds are more relaxed, it might encourage more to go in?
Ken Moran. It also helps to leave one (preferably a female) in the trap when you clean it out. It's movement will attract others.
Where did you get this trap? I have a bird feeder and they are tearing this thing apart I need to catch the pest.
