BIRD TRAPPING
When scare
devices are not providing good enough control, the only option
left is to trap the birds. There are several traps designed today
which work for just about any nuisance bird you may encounter.
Trapping birds is easy. First, you need to establish a feeding
location. This is done by placing a known seed or food they like
to eat at a specific place. Do this daily. The goal is to get
the target birds feeding where you will be able to set a trap.
If you have a
specific food item birds are attracted to, it makes sense to
use that item as the attractant. Other choices of attractants
include cracked corn for pigeons, old bakery goods for starlings,
sunflower seeds and millet for sparrows. Try to use a location
that will make the birds comfortable. Such areas include a flat
roof, in the birds fly way near the barn or building, a large
vacant lot or asphalt area, wide open fields, or elevated platforms.
