Bird B GoneBi-Level Sparrow Trap - Spacious Two-Chamber 8"x12"x16" Cage - Efficient Multiple Capture Design - Durable & Lightweight (4 lbs) - Humane Bird Control

This trap does not work even with the sparrow's favorite bait.Its a waste of good money that I cant get back

First off don't get discouraged, I went almost a full month without getting a single bird in the trap. I tried moving it to a new location, under a bird feeder where there was some food on the ground already. I then put some fresh seed in it and after 2 more days finally got my first bird. The wrong type of bird but it was a start. I have 3 bird feeders. I stopped putting food in 2 of them to see if that might help. I finally got 2 sparrows in 1 day. So that proved to me the trap does work but maybe it's more about how you set it up.I went on to try letting all the bird feeds run out of feed and kept fresh food in the trap. I started getting a few sparrows every few days. I noticed that many times they went in one side and right out the other side. So the opening that is closest to the edge of the cage I put some sticks in the way. They can still get around them if they try but it's not as easy. It seems to cause them to panic a bit and when they turn around they see the opening into the large part of the trap. I started getting about 5 sparrows a day. At the most 8 sparrows in one day.I noticed it started to decline a bit with me just putting food in the trap only. So I started putting a little bit in the feeder above the trap. This seems to work best and the rest of the birds can get some food too. I caught 146 sparrows in 45 days. It seems once you get about 5 birds in the trap it's less likely more enter. I am now only getting about 1-2 a week, also keep in mind the time of the year also matters. From what I hear winter is best but so far early summer was best for me.Hope this helps someone else from what I learned so far.

I bought this trap to catch sparrows so that they would not bother my bluebird nesting box. I’ve tried sufficiently for more than a month and I haven’t caught anything but a chipmunk. I’ve tried all sorts of”bait” but this does not work to catch house sparrows.

If I could give it a 0, I would, not happy with it.

First off this did not come with instructions I flipped the cage both ways. The way in the video is the way to place it on the ground. After looking at it it makes since. And don’t have bird feed at any feeders. So the trash birds will come to this. I put feathers and seed string things sparrows like. I had several attacking my purple Martin gourds. The first day I caught two sparrows the next day three. So I’m going to continue to leave it out: when I catch one I trim their wings. Put it back to draw in more. With a small bowl of water. When you clip their wings it keeps them from flying high and breeding that breeding season no bird will mate with them. So if one gets out the wings are trimmed. When I had the cage flipped over opposite of the way in my video a female sparrow did find the way out in a few hours. So I suggest keeping it how I have it in the video with the exit not at ground/floor level. I need more time to see if any escape this way. That’s the con about this trap no latch door to close just like a sparrow escape room some may find the way out some may not: it was half the cost than others. So for the price for me it’s getting the job done. So I’m glad I got it.
