    Would it not be easy enough to make one? 90 is a bit steep for something that would cost about a tenner in parts.

    as it says on the ad, the compartments are to small to hold the larger grey crow. i use the octagonal trap with greys and works fine but when there is more than two in it at the same time, the shaking causes the other gates to go off.

    Just a little tip. If its a side entry trap if you wrap some insulation tape on the end of the rod that the drop gate sits on it makes the gate less sensitive but will still drop under the weight of the bird. Works for me anyway.
