  • That is a great idea. I may glue seed to that piece. By then they are fooled.

  • In Mexico? The only thing endangered here are tourists. LOL. Of course we release the native birds. I caught a lazy Kestrel Falcon last week. He made it onto the see-saw but was too bigto get through the hole to his meal. They were literally scared to death.  Had to take the trap down to help him out- no harm. Next time he'll catch his own I hope.

  • It's a great repeater trap and my Kestrels really appreciate the extra nutrition. I do quarantine the sparrows for two weeks before they enter the "gladiator aviary" for falcon training. Any sparrow that survives the aviary for ten minutes (with three falcons inside) is set free. I hope they ones aren't stupid enough to go back to the trap again! Thanks for the comment.

  • i believe it's not sparrow out smart the trap it is simply bit of a poor trap condtruction problems. you should make a complains to the maker.

  • Sparrows are bird butchers that is why he does not want to go in to a room with a sparrow.

  • The problem here was the sensitibity of the elevator, u shouldn´t add that much weight, I bet that if u cut some weight u´ll catch all of them damm rats

  • did that bird just out smart you and your silly trap LMAO

  • Smart bird. Thanks for sharing.

  • great trap, though that's a house finch! not a sparrow and I like house finches.

  • wow that is a smart bird

  • ya.... isn't it a crime to trap migratory birds..

  • obviously your door is not counter-weighted correctly.

  • If the counter-weight is set properly, birds can't bounce or "walk up" the elevator like that.
