Pretty cool breed. I've had them before. Helps a lot to have foster parents for feeding because of the short beaks. Just swap eggs halfway through with a longer beak breed. The owls can feed the longer beak babies just fine.
Hey guys I’m looking for some new choke tubes for duck hunting this year (currently just using ones that came with gun) Please recommend! Only recommend products from your personal experience with them! I shoot a Stoger M3000. Let me know what you use and your thoughts. Thanks!
Hey Bobby, you don't need to worry about the Northwind this winter blowing your feed around because the pigeons are not going to be landing there anyway if it's in the wind! Actually come winter most things change where their roosting, the type of feed they want and need and you really need to put some water in that trap! You do know that will also entice them into the trap? Anyway the birds are always going to be roosting and sitting out of the wind in the wintertime.
perhaps some black indoor/outdoor carpet would hold the food pretty good. possibly zip tie the 4 corners and be done. its tight woven but would let rain through.
I always used bird seed as bait and had a bowl of water in the middle. I would leave 1 bird in the trap it makes the other birds more comfortable being around the trap
Drill a hole in each corner of plexiglass and use clear or white zip ties to attach it to either the inside or outside of the trap to keep the wind from blowing the feed out?
Get a can of the spray adhesive, spray the area spread the food place the trap over it and I'm sure that food won't move. When you move the trap the pigeons will attach the food and it will be all gone.
Use a terracotta plant saucer, and for better results have a few extra ones and put them around the roof and put smaller amount of feed in them. They'll get used to eating from the saucers and then they'll happily go in the trap.
Amazing ...... Super video and beautiful birds my dear friend 💯like 👍 Thanks for sharing ❤🕊 Love from Germany to all animals fanciers ❤ I like your videos 👍👍👍
If the wind gets too bad you may move the ladder and put it in the corner that way the food stays in the edge of the trap you would only have one door but you may be able to open another one up on a third side so both that are not against the wall have a door
Great video bob. If you use a tire tube from a racing bike under the cage it will create a lip and hold in the food also not very visible to the birds.
My parents have a pigeon that arrived at their house. Been there a week. Beautiful. White fluffy and brown. Googles says a domestic owl fancy pigeon. What can we do with it? Do you think it was a house pet?
Get urself a couple trail cameras that you can conect ur phone to and put them on the traps so you can see them live.. Watch the bait and you can see if you catch something. Could even put the spring trap up there and know exactly when you got one..
Bobby can I get your opinion on a shotgun you probably have never shot lol should I trade in my Benelli super Vinci for a Benelli super black eagle 3 I know you use a Franchi but I want your opinion if you will I really love all your videos man you’re definitely one of my favorite RU-vid channel
Many years ago I found a strange looking pigeon in an old abandoned toilet in Sydney. I’m guessing council workers found it & locked it in there with some water & a bit of food. For 3 days I saw this weird looking bird, so I took my partner there, he climbed in & rescued the bird. I found out it was a German Shield Owl pigeon. We use to rescue pigeons & other injured birds but this bird turned aggressive, it would peck & flick its wing, maybe cos the person who originally had it, clipped its wings too high, so we named him Belsen. When it started to fly again, it became too much for us to handle so we gave him a good home. A bloke who had experience with these birds. He was a beautiful but very cranky bird. I was sure he would attack us while we slept, he really had a temper. He use to sexually assault my partners socks too, so he needed a good home.
Hello, this bird has landed in my mother in laws backyard. Is it a special bird? I think it's verry intelligent. Not shy att all. It just look like this one
You should put a trail cam on the trap to try and gauge their behavior and see what we can learn about when they come and when they are getting trapped
Trapping pigeons like this I use whole corn, and crack corn.. a bull of water.. I leave at least one or two pigeons (decoy ) in the trap at all times.. I do Not check the trap every day..every 2or 3 days...Some traps "once a week" these traps have external feeders on them...Always water...
Just build a little wooden square a bit bigger than the cage and put the cage inside itll block the wind and if it doesn't itll atleast catch the grain
Yo Yo Yoooooo...what up brother , love the trapping videos, ive never tried to trap birds i but trap alot of critters every year...only advice i can give you is more traps = more chances at a catch..good luck bro
