HOW TO MAKE A MODIFIED BIRD SNARE !

[Fishkid88]

How did you make the snare? I have only made them out of wire

[bushcraftbartons]

@Fishkid88 I used paracord...

[EMMONS100]

I have to say you are a Wealth of Wilderness Skills!!! My Brother and I are going to start practicing Bushcraft this Spring and you and your videos are so greatly appreciated. Thanx Buddy...

[bushcraftbartons]

@EMMONS100 You are very welcome...thanks..

[99bugout]

How about adding a small thin twig on top of your main horizontal stick forming a cross.. to hold up the all sides of the snare making more of a circle pattern of your paracord? Instead of it draping down. Just a thought. Will have to experiment and see .. As it is also known that most all birds are edible. A good survival skill.. Thanks.

[bushcraftbartons]

@99bugout Thanks...Got a good idea there...well done...

[Animerawks100]

Thank you now i can now learn how to catch those sparrows who been eating my chicken food all winter long. Thanks Bro.

[bushcraftbartons]

@Animerawks100 Welcome...

[bushcraftbartons]

Thank you...I saw this in an old book and decided to modify it. Usually they will use a rock for the spring as a counter weight I rather use a tree.

[SpartanMonkee]

Excellent trap Mike!

[fatmanplaying]

What type of bait would be effective for wild birds?

Only thing I can think of is maybe put some sap on the end of the stick and then stick a BIG bug on the end that is still alive so the movement of the bug would attract the bird? Thank you I enjoy your videos!

[bushcraftbartons]

@fatmanplaying You are absolutely right...that or a whole salad of worms....Any live bug will do..

[Nativesurvival]

Nicely done Mike ; ) thanks for the post..

[bcafotw]

Fine trap , just one point you need to make a point on the top of your trap to keep birds from landing and setting on it, thank you,...JC

[bushcraftbartons]

@bcafotw Thank you JC....

Cool to see your good trap working again ; ) Best regards Sepp

[devilfilipe2]

great trap. Normally I think that traps are just to animals that walk on the ground and I forget the birds. I really have to try this trap. Greetings from Portugal and the Survival Team

[SurviveN2]

I haven't seen this type of trap done this way (with the hole) before. Thanks for sharing. Take Care :-))

[bushcraftbartons]

@SurviveN2 thanks :)

[Galltron3000]

Great trap! i've also seen the spring be a large rock. Nice variation

[mdw63]

[bushcraftbartons]
