I'm trapping through the summer--I'm up to around 60 trapped. So summer trapping works in my experience.

Hi, can I feed them with the white rice?

😡😡😡 I love my starling. Woodpeckers are a nuisance. And there's a lot of other birds that kill the nest, that you are not speaking of ugh!

We have had two mallards visiting our pond for two years this year they bred and we they have raised 9 ducklings so now we have 11 mature mallards on our pound. We feed them pellets (chicken layers) which they seem to appreciate 😊🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆😊

😡😡😡

Lie's, they do not kill other nest 😡 I raised a starling , they are amazing. I think a bunch of people got it twisted. There are so many birds out there that will destroy nest & other birds & its not the starling ugh!!! Woodpeckers are very annoying and destroying homes. And the cuckoos they put their eggs in other birds nest, and when that baby hatches it kills all the other babies. Do your research. Ugh!

Thank you! I had no idea where to start to feed the birds around my yard. This was helpful.

I've seen a commercial version of this called "Bark Butter". It uses just peanut butter and cornmeal. Just some advice, the corn needs to be cooked and then dehydrated and grounded, otherwise the nutrients in it are indigestible. Found that out making Homminy and history of it. Also have read that oats are not great for birds, due to it swelling in birds stomachs, preventing them from eating enough nutrient dense foods. Even without the oats, birds go crazy for this stuff.

Hi Jeff, welcome back. I think about you every time I make your bird suet.

Very nice! I just got back from a trip out West, and I saw a bird for the first time. I posted a small clip "Identify This Bird of the West" on my channel in hopes someone might be able to identify the bird. After a few days, I got anxious and did a Google search on list of birds in Southern Utah. Among the list was a close-looking match, and after coming across your video, I am pretty sure the bird is a Townsend's Solitaire. Thanks! Also, great capture of all the birds at the water source. Water is a must.

Wow - this is fascinating! Had no idea the depth of this project you were working on.

5days Old and no feathers

It's great to see you again Jeff. I hope everything is good with you.

So happy you're back to posting! I was just thinking about your videos, when seeing all the birds at the feeder :)

Thank you for this! Very informative… sorry there’s so many ignorant idiots in the comments too :)

Thanks! We are overrun with them in central Maryland and they are pooping all over the place. The hummingbirds won’t come to our feeders because of the hordes of starlings. We’ve been wracking our brains to come up with some way of getting rid of them. I’m tired of the mess and potential for spreading disease.

Also, thank you for such a detailed video. God bless you.

I could answer this myself but currently as a mom of two babies, im too tired to try 😅. How much did all of this cost you? Im debating whether or not to diy myself or to just buy a preassembled owl post kit i found online.

Thanks for this information ☺️👍

Thank you so much

Excellent video! Bravo! Thank you 😊

Are they invasive?

will this work for cowbirds?

I live in a large apartment complex and house sparrows are probably the #1 bird i see. They complete with tits, robins, and chickadees where i am in Northern Virginia. the apartment complex eradicates them, but not in a humane way. i often see many dead baby birds on the sidewalk, and now i am helping them and finding them a captive home so they can live a life without suffering.

Great video

our steller's jays and spotted towhees like to eat off the ground. I don't know how to get rid of the sparrows who eat their food, too. we have way too many sparrows of various types and they're mating all over the lawn. how would I keep feeding them without the sparrows getting to their food?

Excellent video. Thank you.

Thanks.🥰

Peanut butter are always a big hit around here.

Jackdaws seem to like cashews over peanuts and barbeque-spiced roasted cashews over regular ones. Haven't tried any Michelin-star restaurant stuff yet....

Can I use this in high temps in the shade?

Just saw my first flycatcher in Wisconsin yesterday. Thank you for the great video

We also have chipmunks. Will they try to get into this trap?

Will this trap catch other birds, such as nuthatches, chickadees, or finches, or my flickers or woodpeckers that also come to my feeder? I'm really excited about this.

I am so thankful for your videos and your website as I have recently moved to fort Riley Kansas from Florida and have no idea what to garden here, also the amount of different birds here is amazing

eat them and its a win win

Great video. We have invasive albizia trees on are property. We can use this strategy for killing the trees. Thank you for the video.

Do you have a text copy of this How To? I'd like to print it to have alongside as I make the trap.

Can holly berries be added to the suet cakes?

Do they get alone with blue birds?

Mallards are amazing❤

I have eliminated 35 - 40 European house sparrows and have seen great improvement at my feeders being entertained by house finches, gold finches, downy woodpeckers, chickadees, and even a dark eyed junco.

How wide of a hole did you drill? 3”?

I love starlings, but it's sad they are such a native and agricultural threat.

Excellent!

Proceed to throw trap full of starlings into campfire

I just made one of these traps. What do I do if I can't monitor it during the day?

the lighter looking bird with them in the forefront, is that also a Dowitcher?

Took a couple of days to do but got it. Put it out today, had three Catbirds in less than 15 minutes. It was late today, I'll set it out first thing tomorrow. Not sure the thickness of wire you used.The wire I used was heavy. It was .080". Hard to work with..
