I use a repeating sparrow trap but the house sparrows in my area have become trap-shy due to me…I used to trap them keep them for a few days then release if I caught more than my hawk could eat, figuring I’d get them again, nope they figured me out. And now I’ve read that they get trap-shy. Anyone have any luck with painting their trap, moving it, changing, food, switching to a funnel trap, etc?
i had a trap in the open and birds would be all over it, but none in it. i moved it into cover and now they flock in there. espically if there is one in there.
