Anyone have simple pigeon trap plans?

dhondt

I built a pigeon trap with the pigeon bobs and two doors, one on each side. I must of messed up because they would go in one door and out the other. Actually a lot of the dove seem to get in and out and eat all the seed. I have heard you can put a fake owl for the crows, but what about those dove?

The one time I did trap a pigeon .... well lets just say my wife let the dog out before I checked it and she had her bird that Thanksgiving morning.

I am interested in building a new trap, one with out the pigeon bobs and any tips on feed that might attract just the pigeons. The doves really liked the crack corn feed.

If the birds are able to go out the bobs, I would guess they are installed incorrectly. Do you have a pic?

It's probably the small dove getting in and out eating all the crack corn feed. The pigeons might just be too smart to go in... Did I really say that, "smart pigeons?!?" Rolling Eyes

To start you must condition the birds to the trap, this is usually accomplished by flipping it upside down so the door rods fall down forming a ramp. Then feed for 1 week this way and watch to see if the birds are going in freely...once they are feed for 1 more day then flip that baby over and you should have a full trap the next time you go to get it.

Well in the defense of the State Troopers, they were having a little bit of a hard time keeping a straight face during the "interrogation". I guess we probably looked pretty silly!

That is why I love this forum. I tell this story to any one else and they just don't understand. I tell it here and everyone is like "Oh Yeah!" Laughing
