Aussie Finch Forum

What are some suggestions for catching moths for the birds.?
A light in the aviary or a trap made up outside the avairy.?
Can anyone suggest a easy to make trap or purchase one.?

Have a look in the DIY section in the forum.

Solar lights in the avairy can work if you position them right. But will they provide enough? Depends on the quantity of birds.

Moths are totally awesome; well worth the effort.
Especially valuable because they are mature insects, not larvae (like mealies and maggots).
Since I began catching them for chaffies and softbills I have found that the finches also love them, especially the maskeds, bloods and painteds.
Bunnings sell a prefab trap for not too much that works pretty well, if you're not the DIY type...

Bunnings traps work a treat no mess no fuss

Any chance someone could post a link to the bunnings traps? I can't seem to find them
