Bird Trap


Found this sparrow trap at Luckett"s.  This is 2-bay, and the middle bay is where a bait bird or live decoy is placed to attract others birds to the open compartments.

The way this trap works is that there is a small thimble of seed at the bottom, and when the sparrow lands on the triangle-shaped perch, the bird's weight triggers the trap door to close. A nice little set-up.
