Best way to catch aviary finches?

[steve23]

Hi Ripley,

Thank you for offering to come around and help me catch him, appreciate the offer, but I have actually got my hands on some Ivomec liquid base for drinking water.
So I will give this a try and see how it goes

I've read and heard some mixed reactions when it comes to Ivomec being used in drinking water, some say its not designed to mix with water, and others say its the best
way to use it. So I'm not convinced ether way, I'm just using it on the basis of the person I got the birds off, which is also backed by a Finch Society member.

Ripley, in the future if I can't catch a finch with the Canary cage door trap, I would be happy to take you up on you generosity. Thanks mate

When I use a budgie cage as a trap, I usually add some weight to the door with fishing sinkers. It makes for a quick drop.Without the sinkers, If the door catches at all on the way down it birds can escape and they dont go in again for a while.

Good idea MadOzzie, I think I saw a pic on the forum last night with the fish sinks, and could not figure out what they were. You just gave my the answer. Thanks man
