Yoooo
Hey man don’t listen to those idiots you did the right thing man keep up the good work man love ya & your videos God bless you & your family
Since I was 10yrs old I have called them "McDonald's parking lot birds"
Well you're going to unintentionally trap some protected species, I hope Johnny Law understands that...
How do you humanely dispatch of the non-native animals? You always say that you humanely dispatch them but I don't recall you ever explaining how...
I reckon Shawn has the sparrow deported back to the UK.
Yes, we'll have em back. Swap em for the grey squirrels.
@Nikolaos Vitoroulis no one is being forced
@Nikolaos Vitoroulis Maybe against birdflu. Sparrows can't get kungflu.
I shoot the sparrows. Too many to give to the local cats, and not enough meat for me to bother with, so I just give them to the hogs.
Bird Lives Matter
Well since it is illegal in most places to rerelease an invasive animal into the wild, what you did with her should be obvious.
what did he do with her?
@@natttomes4588 have one guess 😁👍
@@natttomes4588 kill🦴☠️
@@natttomes4588 Dispatched humanely.
@@natttomes4588 sent her to his farm upstate where there's all sorts of cool sparrow things to do
Shawn always seems to have an un-ending supply of mice and rats around.
Also Shawn: Dumps a pound of bird seed all over the place...
Seeds literally grow on almost all small grasses and flowers, which are everywhere in rural areas like that. Most of the food goes to waste. You'd need thousands of birds to eat all of the wild food that's available.
@@KWifler woosh
By now he has to be using his own store bought mice. He's been killing mice for YEARS now.
@@albatrossfeatherton he doesn't. They do a thing called reproduce and migrate
@@albatrossfeatherton as long as he doesn’t accidentally showcase an excessively effective trap that clears most mice in a large radius, he’ll have plenty more to experiment on
You always do the humane, correct way of dealing with non-native species . Great channel, thanks 🙏
By the way that emoji is a high-five, not praying.
@@veikkakarvonen831 thanks, but I had to repurpose it.
I know others have done the same thing with the context.
@@AB-ye7bw ok as long as everybody gets the emoji the right way.
@@veikkakarvonen831 tbh it looks more like a set of praying hands
@@veikkakarvonen831 It's a prayer (praying hands) which why when you type prayer on a phone it comes up. So you should probably get the emoji right? Unless you believe people high five with their left hands typically? 😂
I imagine this bird was fed to wild animals.
Scavengers be like, Nam nam nam *burp🪶 *
Become a Patreon and you actually see exactly what Shawn did to the bird. He held the bird right up to the camera while he did what he did at the end. You should become a Patron and see it.
Let's see what comes along and enjoys a bird snack.
incorrect, the sparrow is in a holding cell while it’s paperwork is being processed. It’s trail date has been postponed to mid 2022 due to covid
good hehe let em dieee
It's sad that you can't say what you're going to do with a very destructive spicies. I miss the time where you could say, "give it a little flip."
Lol
thank libturds - those little sensitive fairies.
@@JohnRohoboth whoa buddy, no need to put yourself down like that.
@@JohnRohoboth Yup.
They feed and house invasive species.
I'm not talking about birds.
@@JohnRohoboth I'd buy you a drink
As a person who has "bluebird" houses, these Sparrows and Starlings are always stealing the houses. Yes, Sparrows are cute little birds, but they are a nuisance and there are just too many of them. I just wish it could catch more,.
nobody catching humans for doing a better job at life than any other species lol
there are too many of us, the two legged rats, and too many of any other species. But then you Americans love to play God, so it's okay.
@@theonlyduck IGNORANT response.
@@stevenfeil7079 Have to accept unless humans stop increasing and poisonong teh planet with their activities the future will be very different. Will probably still be rats to catch, & cockroaches.
*rat gets ended*
People: ok
*rat with wings gets ended*
People: *HOW DARE YOU*
It may just he different since birds don't really make holes in your wall and eat your cabels. I kinda feel bad with seeing both ended (like that nailgun trap it was pretty nasty)
Have you seen the picture of starlings w/ their feet wrapped around the beak of a Northern Flicker? The description states starlings will then stab the other bird w/ their beaks once they have grabbed the other bird's beak w/ their feet.
@@leiatyndall8648 I'm not doubting birds aren't assholes I'm just saying that sticking a nail into a rat might be less controversial than doing it into a bird. Well maybe not common pigeons those are annoying. It's just that perception of birds and rats/mice is different
No more dark meat on a rat🤣😂🤣
they dont know what they do yet
I guess people don’t care about if the animal is destroying the environment if it’s small and cute.
Just like at the office.
But not too small I guess otherwise it ain't cute
There is no more destructive species than humans, so...
yep
Sparrows aren’t destroying the environment. They are declining rapidly and they are protected by the wildlife and countryside act
Bird after getting captured: (*Visible panic*)
Shawn: "This animal is a invasive species.."
Bird: (**EXTREME VISIBLE PANIC**)
Shawn might be part cat.
He catches mice, rats, and birds... Just like a cat...
Nah, he's a human; not a cat. He just uses traps. He isn't a furry, you idiot.

Khajiit!
Mice, rats, squirrels, moles, voles and gophers...
I've had this same trap configuration from another designer. They definitely work well, the original that is, and when a female goes in, the rest follow and best numbers around here enter around sunset if the female is in. What are your thoughts on getting that from someone who copied the original? Thanks as always... house sparrows follow and kill the Bluebirds here and have been rough on native song birds. Thanks Shawn and happy 4th to you!
The same way I feel about buying a Brother copier or Chevy Truck (a Ford guy but u get the point) or Dell computer or Ruger pistol...
I know what you mean , but in this video Shaun is not selling the copies, he is just testing them out
yeah. I bought one from a guy from MN. I think I found it on EBay. This was about 10 years ago. This one is a cheaper copy of his design.
@@coca-colayes1958 the point is not blaming shaun (duh) but wondering how he felt about it. I mean dude did have a video on calling out copycat mousetrap. And he called it disgraceful.
Is there a patent? If not, why the bitching?
The sparrows are thanks to colonists importing them from England because the birds were missed.
I doubt it was because they were missed so much as these birds are REALLY good at making their nests and home right up close to human activity.
If you ever visit any kind of warehouse you'll see just how easy they make nests around any sort of storage. They likely were brought over with the cargo in ships without hardly even being noticed!
@@MelkiorMonster Actually that is the story and they brought 27 birds over and that became the starting population in the US.
actually it was some damned liberal from NY city who wanted to have the xx birds of the shakespearean sonnets imported that we have all this sh*t from sparrows, starlings, grackles and others. That person should have been put into their own cross-wire and rubber room and we wouldn't have all these problems ... much like other imported species and races.
@GearóidODU - I think perhaps you've confused your definition of success. . .
@@johnlord8337 By imported races I'm assuming you mean Europeans?
I hope you remember that the haters are just a very noisy fraction.
You have consistently demonstrated that you value and respect the lives of all, even pests or invasive species.
I just finished for the day processing a bunch of excess roosters. Careful thought was given to keeping them unstressed, comfortable and respecting their lives by wasting nothing.
I understand the need to placate the 'overlords' but we're with you.
I'll go order a shirt for my friend now.
I think I know what Shawn did. He let the sparrow go. He's in a better place now.
He let the sparrow go to a better place.
Dead.
Yeah, it's on a farm in....
yay birdie ok i like birds
I'm happy to see you(or not see you) do the right thing. Even when people object.
Nice trap! Enjoyed the video. So many people don't understand the damage caused by invasive species.
I'm most impressed with the fabric backing with the zipper to get the bird out without accidentally letting the bird out on it's own. It's a good idea.
It's sad but you got to do what you got to do. You got to figure that if even Oregon is saying it's okay to trap them that they must cause a lot of harm.
Why do people get pissed about humanely dispatching an invasive bird but not a mouse or rat? Because people have double standards.
Yes, but also a lot of people get triggered by the mice and rats as well unfortunately
Hey, if it wasn't for double standards they wouldn't have any at all!
Why do people get angry when you kill birds but not cockroaches? freaking double standards man, people are so shallow kappa
@@anonymous-rb2sr well if you read my previous replies you would see that I said that most people agree that insects/invertebrates and birds and mammals are on different levels.
Its not for no reason too. Btw they get pissy about mice or rats aswell. Sometimes they get pissy if he kills the mouse a certain way but not in other ways.
Good on you for removing invasive species! More people agree with you than disagree, we just need to be louder for you!
that was interesting. that bird is native here in the Netherlands. just send them back here :).
I've had this trap for 10+ years from a builder here in Canada. Caught over 100 sparrows in a few months. Continued to catch 50+ sparrows every year. Those sparrows breed like crazy.
Where in Canada? I’m curious how to get one
Its invasive so its illegal to be released into the wild, so feeding it to wild native animals is a win-win fir nature
Interesting bird trap. 🐦
"Non-native invasive species." 🤨
We all know what you're going to do to the bird. ☠️
I mean he outright said it at the end. That he is allowed to trap and dispatch these animals because of how invasive and destructive they are
You gave the bird a "little flip".
Today is without feeding animals? My cat and I are upset
Not going to say what you’re going to do with this bird. Wink wink LOL
"Mother Nature is Trying to Kill You" by Dan Riskin needs to be mandatory reading for people before they're allowed to comment on your videos.
I feel like half the commenters mourning over the sparrow would change their minds if they got left in the jungle for a week where things aren't a cute disney movie.
used a similar but larger version and haven't seen any of these guys around in over 2 yrs
_He humanely dispatched of the bird and fed it to me._
Shawn, thank you for your channel and the video on trapping the House Sparrow.
These invasive specie not only disrupt nesting of endangered Bluebirds, Swallows and Purple Martins but they attack those native birds nests to kill fledglings and pin the eggs in the nest.
They are absolutely horrible birds.
Sparrows over here in the UK are getting to be a rarity. Their habitat is disappearing and houses are better built leaving no chance of a house sparrow getting in.
Wish there were widely accessible pigeon traps. Such a nuisance where I’m at.
make one of these
Air rifle?
@@boomshakalaka415 my city ordinances made it illegal to shoot them unfortunately
are you by any chance italian?
Very easy to make. My coworker & I made one w/ hardware cloth & the wires from 1-2 or 3 pants hanger bought @ a thrift store. Make a cage from the hardware cloth (use wire & hognose pliers to connect the sides). Make 2 entrances in the sides & a door on top (for removal). For the entrances, be sure to leave a ledge the birds will have to step over in order to enter, maybe 1-1.5" tall. Attach to a solid base. Bait the trap for 2-3 days so they get comfy going in/out. After that, attach the rods from the pants hanger w/ wire to the doorway so the bottoms hang INSIDE the ledge @ the bottom of the doorways; be sure these are no more than 1.5 - 2.5" apart. The bottoms catching on the ledge make these into 1-way doors, & aren't so heavy the pigeons mind walking under them. You'll be amazed at how easily you'll trap them.
Very interesting as always. Its nice to know how to remove pest or bothersome animals. Thanks again !
"so to avoid backlash im not going to say what im going to do with this bird"
bird: "you what"
I just hope she made her way safely to sparrow heaven
Thanks for another interesting and informative video, good stuff here!
Very cool trap. Probably the best one you've posted.
Interesting , in England the house sparrow is much less numerous than it was 40 years ago, so why are they doing ok in America
Likely because their predators and competition stayed in England.
Loss of suitable habitat in the UK. Lost a lot of hedgerows etc.
please take them back from us!
@@pissdog3956 you take you're grey squirrel back and those scabby rainbow trout.
Something really odd has been happening to the environment in England, some shenanigans . They blame it on climate change and loss of habitat but I can't see it. The birds are disappearing because the insects are, and cold blooded insects thrive in warm temperatures. Once you couldn't drive without getting a windscreen load of insects. There were still plenty of insects in the early 2000, but rapidly after that they started plummeting. Even big ants nests are a rarity in urban gardens, hover flies, once incredibly numerous, are rare. You'd get clouds of midges, even they're not around as much any more.
Made one for starlings years ago with the same principal of a teeter totter. Works great in the spring when they are looking for nesting places. Sparrows are much harder tp trap than starlings. You have to have a much more sensitive teeter totter.
You already know a skunk got a free bird dinner 🤣
Birder here. Yeah these house sparrows are dime-a-dozen and they don’t belong here. Bluebirds used to be more common before the house sparrows arrived and started taking all their nests, now they are very rare birds, I’ve only seen one bluebird before and it was on a special reservation designed for them
Just like native humans, huh?
Perfect timing. I had a house sparrow drop a deuce on my mountain bike in my backyard yesterday, so now I know how to deal with it.
Cant be using.birds to wipe down your bike ffs
If you buy/build human sized one and replace seed with rum, you will be able to catch captain Jack Sparrow!
ive made several of that exact design over the years. the work great
You need to IGNORE any/all negative comments about killing these birds. They don't understand that they are one of the biggest reasons why native species are in trouble. So keep doing what your doing and let them vent but do not let them change your mind about getting rid of them. Thanks alot and keep up the great grest work
I think an adapted version of this trap would be great for mice or rats. Thanks for the great video, Shawn! :-)
We in the UK will happily swap the sparrows in the US for the grey squirrels here
Finally a trap that's worth considering for me. We got about 10 sparrow nests around the house under the roof tiles. Relocating them with this trap would be great.
This is a really cool trap! Even if it's for birds and not mice, it still belongs in Mousetrap Mondays!
Hmm, invasive nest-stealing sparrow vs. bluebird? I pick bluebird - they used to build nice school buses back in the day :)
86 that sparrow.
"I'm not gunna say what I will do" AKA THE BIRD IS DEAD!
poor bird its not her fault she was just curious
also hungry
Joe Carter Minkman did say rats and mice are fine being shown exterminated because no one likes them. But when it's a cute invasive pest, not everyone will be on your side anymore just simply because the animal is cute. Ignore its destructive and invasive habits, it's too adorable to be dispatched like the pest it is.
^ this
Watching from Canada . You videos are Informative thank you keep up the great videos
Great video! My Father in low used to catch many tropical birds in Brazil with a simple bird trap!
Humanly killing animals is just fine, it is illegal to release invasive species so there is only one fate for the little bird. Good videos and amazing wisdom.
noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait that fate is pet right?
tell me!!!
bird is very much gone now sorry
@@mikepopiel9808 he ded
You dispatched it and fed it the opposums. There I said it. That felt good!
"I'm not gonna say what I'm gonna do" translates to "I'm gonna do exactly what they don't want me to do"
LOVE THE CHANGE UP to a bird upload!!!
It's a great design. I've used one similar(bigger) I built to remove them from my yard and around my feeders. They constantly swarm my feeders and empty them in a matter of hours! Record so far for number of house sparrows caught in one day is 41.
I wish I could do this for the exact same reason.
Sparrows and starlings are driving me crazy.
The English Sparrow is basically a mouse with wings.
Look out for the 'ladder'-trap. It is very selective to the size of the birds. Has no moving parts. Relies on the fact that the birds cannot fly upwards without spreading their wings.
Do what you do, you are still the man!
he signed the bird and gave it to one of his patreon members
I might go make one of these, seemed to work pretty well and dead bird makes good fertilizer which im not gonna decline. I hope some more native birds move in if I tried this.
to all the people who defend house sparrows and European starlings, simply google search and see the images of what they do to native birds. They are capable of slaughtering a mother bird and her chicks in order to take over her nest, it is not pleasent to see.
Ground up sparrow makes good fertilizer
Genius design 👌
It's like me being stuck in a room with tons of Big Mac. I would be scared but kinda of ok with it.
Great. Thanks a lot Emeric. What a terrifying image. I not gonna be able to sleep tonight.
Great video and cool trap.
Vermin with wings! I'd like to see more bird traps but I do understand it's really tricky to catch the right birds. It's the same in many other states too.
I’ve used this type of trap quite a bit
3:11: "Now what do I do with this bird?" GAS IT!
I use this all the time! Great trap. Living on a farm the house sparrows are so invasive. In the last month I've caught 72 young sparrows.
I'd like to share the short clip from today of the 11 in the trap I have. Best to put water in the trap and to always leave one bird in there too bait em in.
I had to relocate a sparrow the other day with a pool net, it flew in one of the high bay doors and wouldn't leave, it was crapping all over the welding equipment so it had to go quickly
Thank you for not killing them this time
Sparrows used to be the most common bird in the UK... they are now an endangered species!
Make a bigger one and catch all those damned pigeons, starlings, and grackles !!!!
Grackles are native, though. Protected.
not the grackles! grackles are sweet
There are no grackles in the western US though.
Starlings are pretty damn smart, it'd be interesting to see if they'd fall for this trap.
@@torianholt2752 Mexican Grackles are all over the Southwest US. They're beautiful, elegant birds with a fun personality, but they tend to be big bullies around their roost and make TONS of noise.
All the agriculture in the Sonoran desert made it passable for a number of species, including grackles, inca doves, and some hummingbirds. It's debatable whether or not they should be called invasive, but they're here to stay.
Shawn: spits expertise and wisdom
Me: 👁️👄👁️
The birb got ate. The way it should be
I find live traps are interesting, because of all of the different types of mechanisms one could use.
That bird is entitled to a trial as a Asylum seeker.
Hi, Shaun! This is great! I wanted to tell you that your friend the Mink Man mentions you! I love you both!
You always do the right thing You can't make everyone happy.
This video hleps me learn
Ask Chairman Mao what we should do with sparrows.
That's the greatest trapper I've ever seen
I saw another video about this trap that included a sparrow shelter to make it more successful.
Saw one on a reptile channel where they were allowed to catch invasive goldfish (regardless of other fishing) by net, and there were some impressive specimens, but they were required to be killed
i saw a video by snake discovery over that i think
I am thinking of catching them and keeping them as house pets. Just need to quarantine them for a month or 2
I had problems with house sparrows nesting in my gutters causing drainage problems. They destroyed the nestings of many native birds. I managed to shield my gutters and they left.
I love your videos
thanks
Let me guess what happens to the bird: he gives it a bath and sets it free.
Starlings for snake feeders sounds great if you’ve got freezer space
They are a nuisance. They've built nests in my chimney. I'm afraid of heights, so I had to have my brother come over to clear out my chimney before firing up my furnace every year. Had my brother not stumbled across the nest one day while caulking around the chimney , I couldve died from carbon monoxide poisoning from the blockage. Ive also found sparrow nests between the AC and my house many times.
Not alotta people know how badly the sparrows flood the bird population and are bullies, they think because they're cute and small they're harmless
I used to think that way too but I did some research about them, though I would never kill them myself, I'd feel too sad
Sticky traps left outside work too. Peanut butter in the middle.
