Finished up my version today. Your videos were very helpful toward accomplishing my project. It is now awaiting it's first guests.

My lovely assistants and I built your trap in a couple evenings. (my daughters 8 and 9) They loved helping on this fun project and it is a cool machine! Your videos were not only great but are a bit of great teaching as well. My wife is a science teacher and we think your videos were fantastic! Kids thrive on this kind of project and we truly had a great time building this machine. I rate this activity at 5 stars! Fun! Thank you!

Great tutorial! Thank you for filming this. I just built one today and hope to use it tomorrow.

Great video! I appreciate how detailed you explain everything. Thank you for sharing.

I got to wonder what those girls would think of this ending today after 14 years! Great video very useful and well done. Thanks!

thank you so much for this DIY video, extremely helpful!

Thanks for sharing. Your presentation was perfect!! Straight to the point and simple.

Gonna make one. Excellent videos. Best part: teaching those girls! 👍🏼

Looking forward to making one this weekend. Thank you for the great detailed DIY, much appreciated!

Awesome videos, thank you!

Great video, your easy to follow which made for a easy build! I built one in September of '22 and have caught 115 Hosp in roughly 5 months of trapping. One thing i did differently that I'm now second guessing is the one way door which i used hardware cloth instead of the thun plexi. I believe hardware cloth give more opportunity for birds to pull on it & eventually pull it open enough to get back out. I have witnessed birds pulling on it and have had a handfull escape & i actually caught a few escapees in the swingarm compartment! Have you had any escapees using the plexiglass door?? One other thing i did differently that I believe is an improvement was the angled cuts on the swingarm for clearance. The angled cut on the capture cage end of the swingarm I did the same because the swingarm needs to go as low as possible. But the opposite end or the weighted end needs clearance at the top of the arm, because it only travels from a level position to the top of the cage, so the angled cut on this back end of the pipe needs to be opposite of the angled cut on the front end. Done thus way no modification was needed to create clearance

It's a great trap with a great trap door mechanism. I've just got one little idea. On the pvc pipe that you drilled a hole in to fit the nut and bolt through if you make the hole into an approximate one inch long slot you could actually then just slide the bolt to the desired position to make the pvc arm go up👆 and down👇 Thanks for sharing your video. . 👍

Thank you so much for this series of videos. I have suffered for years trying to figure out how to get rid of my sparrows.

Nice original idea 💡

What a wonderful gift❗️Thank you for you generosity.Your daughters are lovely (married by now no doubt) and I just thoroughly enjoyed the whole production, thanks again‼️👏🏻

Well done guys! this will help a lot of people build a good,economical,lasting trap.Im designing similar one, but with a easier method to remove all birds at once, will post it on line, when I can prove it works well.Sparrows,Pigiones and Indian minors, are in Plague propoartions here in Australia, and If every conservationist built one or a dozen we'll do our bit , to save the native species CHEERS!

Great video. Excellent instructions. I plan on building one today!

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks a lot I built one and I amm gonna build more. Thanks and God bless!

Thanks for sharing, I'll be building one soon.

These traps with elevator are awesome. One thing to add, an inner flap on the hinged door opening to help prevent a bird escaping when getting them out. The birds are disease carriers in my chicken and horse barns. People need to understand the issue of this non-native birds that kills off our song bird populations.

liked and favorited, especially for the last part

Now all it needs is a hydraulic ram and the french fry blade from a vegimatic. Hook the ram to a motion detector next to a food bowl, and you have an on-demand cat feeder.

Bruntdog, Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. I have loned out a nestbox mounted trap to a neighbor having problems with sparrows but due to winds the last several days, she is having problems keeping the trap set. Your repeating trap looks like a great alternate. Will start on building one this afternoon. Thanks

It would have been nice to see the assembly actually functioning ? You should have also included the paper girl in the reconstruction process so she can appreciate the effort that goes into one of these ;} nicely done!

Thank you for posting great video! I made my trap myself too(a year ago, there were not any videos on it, so it took me some time to come up with the design). I like the PVS pipe idea. My trap has a dark cloth on the door attached on the inside so that they will not see the outside once you open the door. I put a handle on it its quite handy since the trap is heavy.

Thank you sir! Husband and I are going to build one next weekend. If I purchased it online it would cost me $78.00 with shipping. Thank you so much for sharing!

That was entertaining. Good job I guess. Not in my back yard though.

Fantastic, thank you

Great series of educational videos, keen to take on the project with my assistants

Awesome! Thanks

thanks for the video,

well done !

Thx for sharing...

Excellent video - I'm off to build one with my daughter...

Hey thanks man I was surprised on how many sparrows I cought , you were helpful in stead of buying the sparrow trap online for $49.95 so thanks a lot =]

Many thanks and God bless you,we need all the sparrow traps we can to help eliminate some of them and martin/blue bird houses too,thanks again.

Good instructional

Nice I try to make same this one

Would this trap work for starlings too? I mean the measurements of the trap?

muchas gracias por este video que me ha enseñado una nueva manera de hacer una trampa gracias desde mexico bye

Caught one today it works! but I have about 50 more to go...

Wonderful, Tanx ,,, we wish to see it in Operation:)

do you shoot em after? just curious because i want to build a bigger version but was curios as to what to do with em.thanks

The bait , what works best for mix? great videos by the way. thanks.

You get a like just for thr intro.

Would this work for mourning doves or scrub jays?

Great gadget! I'm going to make one. We raise Purple Martins and hopefully it will catch the English sparrow and starling. One question, what is your method of dispatching the birds that you've caught?

thanks for the vid. Have made the main parts of the trap but not got any mesh!!! Ive put a door at the back of the swingarm, will post vid when its made.

تسلم ايدك شرح اكثر من رائع

Awesome design ✔🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🏆👉🌷😍

Thanks for that Bruntdog. I tried it and it works well. What were the cage dimensions of the cage?

How do you build an additional trap box on the side to get sparrows in it to remove and dispose of them easily? I have seen one on another site but no instructions how to make it?

did u catch anything nice vid

Thank you very much for posting this...I have to do some eradicating of house sparrows and an air rifle is not an option in this area.

We are thinking Blackbird pie! (Starlings )

what does a quater weigh in grams? I am from sweden. We don't have the same way of measuring and counting stuff. Anyone please?

Sure would be much easier to read the last text with a more contrasting color, GOOD VIDEO, regards

so neet thanks

this trap is awsome, ive caught 10 birds in it so far, not a single house sparrow though...

Could you tell us the dimensions of the outside wire cloth that covers the trap?

Cheers

im sure you have been asked and have already answered this.. but what do you do with the sparrows after you catch them??

Nice work, these repeating traps work well at catching those horrible house sparrows.

nice m8 i did it but i neeed to do other 1 coz broken :d

Hi IAA015, an American quarter-dollar coin weighs 5.670 g. It's larger and flatter than a 1-Euro coin, but the weights are probably similar.

My experience was not good. After a while the birds just hopped over the elevator and hopped back out. One of the sparrows got some seed, hopped back out and fed her baby waiting outside and went back in for some more. Maybe the elevator needs to be a little wider so the bird cant hop over it.

Once you catch enough sparrows for a meal, what's the best way to cook 'em?

you are wonderfullllllllllllllllllll.................

Do you trap and eat Sparrows ?

this looks great for when i cant be there to blast em. and once caught i can release native birds.

Does it even work?>

I’m wondering what the dimensions of the hardware cloth is

A heat gun on the pvc pipe works instead of the 45.

Couldn't you just make a box with the plexiglass on the inside and the food on the inside so they couldn't get out of the box?? Plz reply!!

could you put the values ​​in centimeters for our French friends?

You can cut and use normal plastic from your containers, not just plexiglass

you could have just heat the pvc tube and bend it .... a lot more easier

Mana gambar dan ukuran detilnya?

nice dude but i make it by cartoons .what i will yous for the lat thang that the sparrow can be in side i know that i will yous tha one out the window but my mother dont let me to cut it what i will yous mr. pleeas

Go to the website called Coinflation (dot) com for the weights of all US coins. It would probably be better to check a bird book to find the weight of the birds in your area and then adjust your trap with whatever you are using for weight.

I planted 1500 asparagus the sparrows ated 3-400 of them! there are just too many of them

rather have the "advisors" in Congress than what we have!

He is talking about 3 quarter size coins ( 3 COINS WICH IS 75 CENTS OF A DOLLAR) sO HE USES 3 _ 25 CENTS COINS TO ADJUST THE WEIGHT.

wtf! disliking for the last part.

He says check it daily, but this is much TOO INFREQUENT. Should be checked at least HOURLY at least. Non-sparrow birds that are nesting will lose their young if trapped for long. Birds without water will die. Please do not use one of these without being diligent about releasing birds you are not targeting.

too complicated

this trap didnt work at all dont use pvc piping use wood

Why the two girls acting stupid at the end???????????

Built this 3 weeks ago NO sparrows, useless

those birds are not a nuisance but i would like to have one or two as pets

Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.

the only one is nausance are people also are invasive species too, house sparrows don't kill other birds is not scientific proof of that , also I have in my backyard all kind the birds I never saw sparrows attack or kill other birds .also cats kill more birds than any other animals and them are invasive species too.
