Just a friendly heads up the first bird you caught with the yellow beak are actually called Noisy miners, they are native to Australia you don't want to kill thoes its actually illegal , Dark brown body with fully black heads yellow beaks you can kill them they're the introduced ones :)

Dear FPSOutback person, this is brillint! I shall have to try it myself. Also, thanks for showing other containers to use. pierre from New Mexico

Really great video, ty for taking the time. I'm glad to see you getting around just fine

Thanks for posting this video. I've added it to my "Wild Meat" playlist on my channel. Being a one-handed bushcrafter myself, I naturally subscribed to your excellent channel. Keep up the good work mate!

It's so sad when u see his hand, but yet he pushes through that and gives the world some great traps

Simple genius!! Another arrow in my survival quiver.......a new subscriber and junior bushcrafter in Ontario,

That is awesome! Definitely going to try this out.

I guess that by now someone has mentioned that the first bird is a native, it is the noisy miner, not the introduced Indian myna Thanks for your videos, I've been enjoying them :-)

noisy miner is the cockatoo or the bird world....whenever a predator bird flies into the vicinity they start chirping which causes galag,corella,pigeon ect to launch into flight...They actually make nervous wrecks of the other birds as they sound off for helicopters and commercial jets...anything high and the start.

You seem like a very intelligent guy. Great videos! I am now a subscriber.

The pigeons at the end were like "Oh okay."

So creative, once again keep up the good work, like you're tapping videos

brilliant video. simple to use and assemble. subscribed thanks.

Thanks!This is a very good tutorial on catching birds!:D

Love your vids dude, keep going.

Yeh thanks for the correction, though its already been annoted and is in description. I did catch sight of a real "indian" miner just yesterday though, as said in vid we don't get either in numbers around here.

i like the trap man! it actually works, now i only have few pest sparrows left around my aviary,thanks!

Wow, what a (great) simple idea. When i heard rat trap and nails, i thought B.S. But i was wrong, wrong, wrong. Gona try it in the next couple of days. Well done mate. Nice one.

Great video man. Got a few black birds and Indian Mynas to get rid of. I'll see how this goes, cheers!

Great trap man. Never thought of using a rat trap that way, but it really works.

I happen to know him wow I can't believe how many people are asking about his hand so everybody does not have to keep asking he was fishing and a crocodile got his hand so now you all know

Wow that’s cool

For your information ... They grey minor bird at the start your first catch is "NOT" an introduced bird it is actually the Australian version of the minor ... The Indian minor is Brown, has a large white spot on each wing...

hey thanks for posting this i live in hawaii and im catchin erkles almost every day and iv cought 4 at once this trap is awsome

Thanks man! this video helped me with pigeons. Are you still doing videos?

Such a simple idea, I love it! Now I know what to do with old rat traps with busted tension springs.

Brilliant! Thanks man!!!

Good vid, thanks I always feel a bond with the folks from down under, seems their way of thinking closely follows the way of my father.

I guess you will be glad to hear that someone did not notice your hand at all (so was surprised at the comments here) as I was too busy watchin your trap. thanks

HI MATE I HAVE JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR VID GREAT STUFF I AM FROM SCOTLAND SO I WILL TRY IT OUT ON THE HAGGIS

I'm so happy that I've finally found a simple, easy, reliable trap to finally catch those damn raccoon's in my backyard! Thank you so much!

Livy Bug I think a raccoon to be able to get out of that because I had this rat trap and a raccoon got a hold of it and it was bent in half 3 * I'm 11 year old trapper and they're mean so I would recommend put bricks on the box either way it would still probably get out

I'm going to give this a try, thanks for sharing. Last year I had to take off a section of the roof & I got rid of 3 birds nests & 18 Starling chicks which flew away. Each nest left a pile that was knee high. 2 days ago I heard one trying to get back in, even though I've put gutter guard up. They're getting in between the gap of the roof & the gutter. Once the chicks hatch I won't be getting any sleep, because of they're constant chirping. I've been scaring them away with a broom, my neighbours think I'm crazy, hitting the gutters around the house every so often :)

simply ! good working ! nice job ^^

you're the man, nice and cheap trap thanks

Hey that's a pretty nifty setup. Thanks!

Nice Post! Thank You for Posting.

I noticed a lot of people are asking how do you make it so the trap doesnt kill the bird in the same way it would kill a mouse....This is easy people look at the trap you will see that it is dummy set meaning the metal rod is still connected to the tongue of the trap but the spring is not pulled back.....the bird pecks at the tongue which lets the little metal rod drop and the weight of the box does the rest

nice vid, i will try it out, although my mouse trap is different, it does not use the same "bar" trigger mechanism, instead it has a foot pedal type of part, which is below the main piece of wood, so I will have to figure out another way of attaching the string to it, or just buy an old style mousetrap like yours in the vid

How did you manage to arm the trap without pulling down the trap part? I have some traps and they refuse to arm otherwise.

You really creative, i like your trap

Awesome methord bro u r a genious... Love u

Thanks autoairsteer you are absolutely right. As I said I haven't seen a bird like that in years, so its a good thing I let it go. I'll annote the vid with the correction.

nice trap man. what bait did you use? i built it like 1 hour ago and i used bread.

Would this type of trap work with large game birds? If so, how would they be lured in?

You are a magician! Thanks...

Thank you man I am going to try it,and it also works :-)

Thumbs up!!! thanks ....great video.

Thanks this will now help me protect my frogs

we had a more simplier one then this when I was young. we had a box 1 forked stick and a long string. you put the box on a 45 degree angle with the forked stick holding the higher end up with the string tied to the stick, chuck some bread under, hide, and when the birds go under pull the string...

The box would probably need to be bigger and the bait should probably be candy for it to work on kids

Yup ,silent simple and effective! Congrats

Great work!!!

Can you use somthing else besides a mous trap maybe a home made one?

Great video - thanks for sharing

thanks the tutorial has really helped

Thats awesome! Is that a go pro u were using? Great video!

That's really smart and cool

Does it matter what kind of mouse trap you use ?

Absolutely good job man. i got to get me a Rat Trap now. going to the Mountain when all hell brakes lose. you know food shortage. Economy and such. going to have to eat a Bird or two. thank you for the video Mate

this trap bring back alot of good memories when i was a kid.. we used to do it similar one.. with a stick holding the box up with a long string attached to the stick .. and the rest is was to wait for birds to gather around the seeds we set for them.. One other thing we used to do was strap a stone or something heavy to the top of the box ... this was because we used to set it for lots of pigeons at once.. and they can rattle the cage and escape some times.

i recently handed a huge white australian cockatoo a full peice of bread, as it took it, i bear hugged it lol..the dam thing opened the cage but 6 hours later and flew out the front door haha i love your trap im going to try to catch me a pet revan with it. cheers mate ;-p

Going to put one in the yard today for eurasian collared doves in Texas. They're considered invasive, no season, no limit, and tasty!

cool video, thanks for the knowledge

sweet cool thanks but whats up with your hand ?

You are a genius. This is great. I'm going to try it to get rid of the pigeons around the house.

i think i messed up cus my mousetrap cracked in two (i was expecting that) and i wonder if you had the same problem before in doing it or if i just have a bad trap

Nice job .. That's some hard ground you nailing in ..

Thanks for posting this video.

Always interesting!

cool trap bro! totally humane. any ideas for getting rid of pesky crows?

Thank you so much, this is brilliant! The magpies here are chasing away all the small birds, eat the cat food and poop everywhere. We don't want to kill them though, we might just relocate them. GOD bless.

Any of the birds ever get their necks stuck in the mouse trap part when it snaps shut? Nice simple flying rat trap. Do it with a cardboard box, catch one of those 'invader' birds, and fire one of those 12 gauge bird bombs into the box when it drop. Wana see a slo-mo of that. Love your videos, keep em coming.

Nice work.

Great video :)

you can get suspended from youtube??? tell me about it? how you did that. i just started putting up some clips. i like your traps. real cool.

Good on you mate. I hope it works for parrots! Cheers

what can you use as bait?

what did u use for bait??

It worked! I caught a Squirrel and a Sparrow and some pigeons!

awesome man nice one

any advice on how to catch pheasant´s ??

A magpie couple that for years come over daily for a snack have a young one that has a seriously injured paw. I would like to capture it and bring it to a local vet for help. Thank you for this demonstration.

this is exactly what I was looking for! thank you.

I was so afraid you were going to kill them, I'm glad you didn't YAY!! Awesome video!!! xD

I have a giant population where I live and it worked thanks for your help

heads up to this post!

do you keep birds you catch

What did u do to ur hand??

I caught a dove but I don't know how to remove it from the box because it's just flying up and down so I'm kind of stuck at this point. A little help please

very nice trap

As an avid falconer I will be using this! Hello by way of Alabama!

nice job mate

love it

awesom trap!!

I have a question though After the bird is under the basket.... how do I get it out...

@NvrchFotia

5 жыл бұрын

Lolliboo You mean besides lifting it? If you want to grab it then shove some cardboard underneath it and then you can turn it upside down with the bird in it. You can then put some netting in thru an opening that’s too small for the bird to come out and shake it around so it traps the bird.
