    To the guy who wrote that this video should be removed… Why is everything about money, the reason why this very nice gentleman uploaded this video is for the preservation of our native bird species, his idea was not to make money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This video should be removed because this is a 3 part rip off of how to make a DRST. A trap design that is providing income for a fellow American that has made a business of selling the DRST. Instead you could have designed your own – like others have done. Or at a minimum improved the design. Time to innovate and leave the copying to CHINA. Everyone else spend the $50 and get a proper DRST from sparrowtraps

    How to you make the plexiglas trap door? You said you use staples. Do you just staple it in there and let it operate light a tight flap, or do you you only partially seat the staple, putting it in vertically, so it acts like a hinge, much like the D rings on a 3 ring binder allow the pages to turn. I’m wondering if having it stapled tight at the top is too rigid.

    Just built a sparrow trap following this video. My doesn’t look pretty since I did it with scrap wood. If it works, maybe I’ll get some decent wood and build a pretty one!

  21. PassauOli says:

    why dont u build them and sell them for people to buy and maybe build bigger ones for magpies or pigeons? because i have a pigeons and i want to get rid of them but do not have to material to build it.
