Song Lures Sparrows To Trap
The trap is usually set up high, with bread held in place by 2 wires as bait. “The main thing that makes it work is the audio component, a sparrow call. Sparrows land on top of the trap out of curiosity,” Riddell says.
That releases a lever and the bird falls into a box.
The trap is humane and hygienic, Riddell notes. Currently the trap only works for one bird at a time, but Bird Barrier expects to offer a multiple catch model soon.
The Sparrow Trap Door sells for about $150 through Bird Barrier. The audio traps are powered by three AA batteries that last up to a week, or by an optional power cord.
