Trap

mikehunts

Hello,

Would anyone here know where you can buy a Sparrow trap? Last few years they have my heart broke in the eaves of the house. These birds never give up no matter how hard i try to stop them. Mesh/nets/spookers out of ideas at this stage.

Not really as greys and jackdaws are native and can be trapped however its my understanding that only birds with a derogation can be trapped.

Sparrows are fully protected, and cannot be trapped unlike other species which can be under derogation.

Lastyear a guy in carlow was fined a tidy sum for having
wildbirds and traps in his posession

do what the brother in law did go up on a ladder and filled the gaps with expanding foam
now birds harmed in the process and him and the sister swear the gaff is a lot warmer since
