Traps Both House Sparrows and European Starlings
- Designed for trapping both House Sparrows and European Starlings.
- Large walk-in design measures approximately 5' x 5' x 8' when completed.
- Repeating trap design does not need to be reset after each bird enters.
- Native birds that enter accidentally can be released unharmed.
- Includes step-by-step instructions, photos, tips, and trapping information.
Excellent for Winter Starling Control
The V-Top Trap can be especially effective for European Starlings during winter when snow covers natural food sources and large flocks are actively searching for food. Table scraps can be used as bait, and placing the trap where starlings regularly gather can produce excellent results.
For House Sparrows, grain and water can be used as attractants. The trap can be positioned near trees, large bushes, barns, or other areas where House Sparrows regularly feed and gather.
Why Build a V-Top Trap?
- Large-capacity trapping system
- Useful where large numbers of House Sparrows or European Starlings are present
- No resetting required after each capture
- Walk-in size makes servicing and cleaning easier
- Designed from decades of real-world trapping experience
Important Trap Safety
Check the trap regularly whenever it is in use. Any non-target native bird that enters the trap should be released immediately and unharmed.
Provide appropriate food, fresh water, and shelter for any birds being retained temporarily, and protect captured birds from extreme heat, cold, or severe weather.
