Mynah traps are excellent, mynah population in Canberra has dropped a hell of a lot - not a very common sight now thanks to them.
is there a mynah action group in your area? mine lent me a trap for free, didn't have to build one.

Sparrows are pests here, I've caught heaps of them but released them, might make a snare rather than a trap, their driving the good old willy wagtails out :thumbdown:

I think, as well as moving it around, if you also alternated between the owl and the falcon models, it may help to keep the buggers guessing...

HI Freddy,

Good looking hawk :thumbup: :thumbup: moving it around, or maybe taking it away for a day or so to mix it up might keep the local bird population on their toes. Hopefully you have greater success than i did with my fake owl....eventually the local dove population tried mating with it....one fake owl now in the recycle bin :lol: :lol:

Cheers
Paul

Actually i think it is working, I havnt seen the pesky little honey eater birds around, In fact i havnt seen any problem birds.
I havnt seen the cat for a while , Only the local doves hang around. So all is good !!
Cheers Freddy :crazy:
