{"product_id":"211229","title":"Trap Small Bird","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Small Bird Trap is ideal for the safe\nand humane capture of pigeons, starlings,\nmagpies, crows, ravens, myna, small chickens, and birds of similar size and\ncouldn’t be simpler to set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlace suitable bait\n(seed, grain, chick starter pellet, fruit, wheat, or bread) in the central bait pan while holding the netting frame in the open position-\nthis prevents misfire since the trigger mechanism is so light whilst setting\nthe trap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as the bird\nlands and jostles the bait pan, the spring-loaded netting hoop flips over and traps the bird inside. The bird is neither injured nor\nkilled. Trap should be checked regularly to ensure a timely removal of the\ncaptured bird. Trapped birds must only\nbe killed by humane methods with minimal delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend setting the trap a few times before use in the\nfield to ensure absolute competence. Steel\nconstruction with green nylon capture mesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTip: Pre-bait the trap for\nseveral days by wiring the spring-loaded door into the open position. Once the\nbirds are coming freely to the trap, simply remove the restraining wire. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverall dimensions 42\nx 42cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimum time\nfor trapping will often vary depending on the species of bird and the type of\ncrop being protected. During the breeding season most birds are territorial and\nso trapping may be less effective. At other times of the year, particularly\nduring autumn\/ winter when food is less abundant, birds may form large flocks\nand many birds can be caught. However, the efficacy of trapping in terms of\nreduced density or damage also needs consideration. For example, for bird\nspecies with high rates of fecundity (e.g., starlings and mynas) removing birds\nduring or just prior to the breeding season may cause greater reductions in\ndensity in the long term or for the approaching ripening season. To minimise the animal welfare implications\nof leaving dependent nestlings and chicks to die from starvation it is\npreferable not to undertake trapping during the nesting season. If trapping\nmust occur during nesting, reasonable efforts should be made to find nest\nhollows containing young birds so they can be killed quickly and humanely.\nSpecial care and knowledge are necessary for holding or restraining birds,\nand the most appropriate method should be used for each species. Care\nmust be taken when handling birds (especially pest species) as they may carry\ndiseases that can affect humans and other animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Any control\nof pest birds must be implemented in accordance with any relevant State,\nTerritory and Commonwealth legislation. Permits may be required for the control\nof some species.
