- How to make a simple bird trap that works. Live trap birds the easy way. I've been corrected in regards to the "Indian myna", the bird caught is in fact a native "Noisy miner". See here for the differences www.yimag.org.a... .

Just a friendly heads up the first bird you caught with the yellow beak are actually called Noisy miners, they are native to Australia you don't want to kill thoes its actually illegal , Dark brown body with fully black heads yellow beaks you can kill them they're the introduced ones :)
Thanks for posting this video. I've added it to my "Wild Meat" playlist on my channel.
Being a one-handed bushcrafter myself, I naturally subscribed to your excellent channel. Keep up the good work mate!
I guess that by now someone has mentioned that the first bird is a native, it is the noisy miner, not the introduced Indian myna
Thanks for your videos, I've been enjoying them :-)
noisy miner is the cockatoo or the bird world....whenever a predator bird flies into the vicinity they start chirping which causes galag,corella,pigeon ect to launch into flight...They actually make nervous wrecks of the other birds as they sound off for helicopters and commercial jets...anything high and the start.
Really great video, ty for taking the time. I'm glad to see you getting around just fine
It's so sad when u see his hand, but yet he pushes through that and gives the world some great traps
Simple genius!! Another arrow in my survival quiver.......a new subscriber and junior bushcrafter in Ontario,
Dear FPSOutback person, this is brillint! I shall have to try it myself. Also, thanks for showing other containers to use. pierre from New Mexico
For your information ... They grey minor bird at the start your first catch is "NOT" an introduced bird it is actually the Australian version of the minor ... The Indian minor is Brown, has a large white spot on each wing...
we had a more simplier one then this when I was young. we had a box 1 forked stick and a long string. you put the box on a 45 degree angle with the forked stick holding the higher end up with the string tied to the stick, chuck some bread under, hide, and when the birds go under pull the string...
+carlos eden The act of actually catching one is included in the "simplest" definition, set and forget beats sitting there waiting.
+FPSOutback like I said I was young. hiding behind a bush holding a string waiting to catch a live bird was absolutly awesome. I would do it this way now kuz I aint got the time to be waiting now I got my own kids lol
+carlos eden yes i tried that i failed all i got was a ant
carlos eden You can Do It with Your Kids But Tell Them to stand Back
this trap bring back alot of good memories when i was a kid.. we used to do it similar one.. with a stick holding the box up with a long string attached to the stick .. and the rest is was to wait for birds to gather around the seeds we set for them..
One other thing we used to do was strap a stone or something heavy to the top of the box ... this was because we used to set it for lots of pigeons at once.. and they can rattle the cage and escape some times.
I guess you will be glad to hear that someone did not notice your hand at all (so was surprised at the comments here) as I was too busy watchin your trap. thanks
I noticed a lot of people are asking how do you make it so the trap doesnt kill the bird in the same way it would kill a mouse....This is easy people look at the trap you will see that it is dummy set meaning the metal rod is still connected to the tongue of the trap but the spring is not pulled back.....the bird pecks at the tongue which lets the little metal rod drop and the weight of the box does the rest
Wow, what a (great) simple idea. When i heard rat trap and nails, i thought B.S.
But i was wrong, wrong, wrong.
Gona try it in the next couple of days.
Well done mate. Nice one.
Yeh thanks for the correction, though its already been annoted and is in description. I did catch sight of a real "indian" miner just yesterday though, as said in vid we don't get either in numbers around here.
I'm so happy that I've finally found a simple, easy, reliable trap to finally catch those damn raccoon's in my backyard! Thank you so much!
Livy Bug I think a raccoon to be able to get out of that because I had this rat trap and a raccoon got a hold of it and it was bent in half 3 * I'm 11 year old trapper and they're mean so I would recommend put bricks on the box either way it would still probably get out
How did you go with the raccoon?
@@outdoorsdaily6409 r/woosh
I happen to know him wow I can't believe how many people are asking about his hand so everybody does not have to keep asking he was fishing and a crocodile got his hand so now you all know
Wow that’s cool
I'm going to give this a try, thanks for sharing.
Last year I had to take off a section of the roof & I got rid of 3 birds nests & 18 Starling chicks which flew away.
Each nest left a pile that was knee high. 2 days ago I heard one trying to get back in, even though I've put gutter guard up. They're getting in between the gap of the roof & the gutter. Once the chicks hatch I won't be getting any sleep, because of they're constant chirping. I've been scaring them away with a broom, my neighbours think I'm crazy, hitting the gutters around the house every so often :)
Good vid, thanks
I always feel a bond with the folks from down under, seems their way of thinking closely follows the way of my father.
Going to put one in the yard today for eurasian collared doves in Texas. They're considered invasive, no season, no limit, and tasty!
Thanks autoairsteer you are absolutely right. As I said I haven't seen a bird like that in years, so its a good thing I let it go. I'll annote the vid with the correction.
nice trap i just caught a crow
thank for the advice on making the trap
i like the trap man! it actually works, now i only have few pest sparrows left around my aviary,thanks!
Absolutely good job man. i got to get me a Rat Trap now. going to the Mountain when all hell brakes lose. you know food shortage. Economy and such. going to have to eat a Bird or two. thank you for the video Mate
Such a simple idea, I love it! Now I know what to do with old rat traps with busted tension springs.
Brilliant trap mate , another good use for a rat trap , thats mean two trapping options for 1 trap, brilliant !
cool trap bro! totally humane. any ideas for getting rid of pesky crows?
Great video man. Got a few black birds and Indian Mynas to get rid of. I'll see how this goes, cheers!
Great trap man. Never thought of using a rat trap that way, but it really works.
HI MATE I HAVE JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR VID GREAT STUFF I AM FROM SCOTLAND SO I WILL TRY IT OUT ON THE HAGGIS
You seem like a very intelligent guy. Great videos! I am now a subscriber.
Thank you so much, this is brilliant! The magpies here are chasing away all the small birds, eat the cat food and poop everywhere. We don't want to kill them though, we might just relocate them. GOD bless.
hey thanks for posting this i live in hawaii and im catchin erkles almost every day and iv cought 4 at once this trap is awsome
You are a genius. This is great. I'm going to try it to get rid of the pigeons around the house.
would this work on my kids?
& Yes...
The box would probably need to be bigger and the bait should probably be candy for it to work on kids
I was so afraid you were going to kill them, I'm glad you didn't YAY!! Awesome video!!! xD
The pigeons at the end were like "Oh okay."
A magpie couple that for years come over daily for a snack have a young one that has a seriously injured paw. I would like to capture it and bring it to a local vet for help. Thank you for this demonstration.
i recently handed a huge white australian cockatoo a full peice of bread, as it took it, i bear hugged it lol..the dam thing opened the cage but 6 hours later and flew out the front door haha i love your trap im going to try to catch me a pet revan with it. cheers mate ;-p
Any of the birds ever get their necks stuck in the mouse trap part when it snaps shut? Nice simple flying rat trap. Do it with a cardboard box, catch one of those 'invader' birds, and fire one of those 12 gauge bird bombs into the box when it drop. Wana see a slo-mo of that. Love your videos, keep em coming.
Wrap some tape around the rod so the trigger can only sit on the very end of the rod for a hair trigger. Prevents the bird pullng up on the bait rather then down.
a easier trigger is the sampson's post. all you need is your capture device(cage or deadfall) and either one stick and a pebble or two sticks. with the stick and stone, you simply put the pebble on the ground, place the bait on top of it, put the stick on top of the bait and then your capture device on top of that. when the animal tries to take the bait, they knock the support stick out. with two sticks, you just place the bait on the end of one and either place the trigger stick on top or below
lol, somehow i didn't notice you had set the other end of the cordage in the ground and i was like 'this is working... but... i don't see how...' *rolls eyes* anyway, great vid - beautifully simple trap.
heres an idea: box, long string, stick. Prop the box up with the stick, tie the string around the stick, wait, pull the string when the prey is under the box. GENIOUS!
***** yea i was joking :)
***** Lol its ok
Maarstrunah who wants to wait-
I have a question though
After the bird is under the basket.... how do I get it out...
Lolliboo You mean besides lifting it? If you want to grab it then shove some cardboard underneath it and then you can turn it upside down with the bird in it. You can then put some netting in thru an opening that’s too small for the bird to come out and shake it around so it traps the bird.
NO3- oh thanks yeah I didn’t think of that
That is awesome! Definitely going to try this out.
Thanks this will now help me protect my frogs
nice vid, i will try it out, although my mouse trap is different, it does not use the same "bar" trigger mechanism, instead it has a foot pedal type of part, which is below the main piece of wood, so I will have to figure out another way of attaching the string to it, or just buy an old style mousetrap like yours in the vid
As an avid falconer I will be using this! Hello by way of Alabama!
bro im a fan now of your videos your very good bro , i would just ask if its possible if you can do some effective sparrow bird snare coz we have many sparrow here in our backyard ive done the oija bird snare and spring pole snare i havent catch any, thanks bro.....
Nice job .. That's some hard ground you nailing in ..
Looks like something he's had since birth
You only use the trigger on the mouse trap, not the spring see 3:10 . I'm kinda limited on what I can upload to youtube, I only just got off a 6 month suspension.
Thanks man! this video helped me with pigeons.
Are you still doing videos?
So many rude people are all going on about his hand, which is none of their business or even a big deal, while I'm stressing about the BIG mistake he made about the Myna.
I know he corrected himself about killing what was actually an AUSTRALIAN NATIVE Myna, but I also know there are some effing idiots in this world, as well as just plain senseless assholes who won't bother to read the comments/corrections he made about his mistake, and will assume we should be killing Australian Native Myna's (killing the birds in this video/any native birds is ILLEGAL). I honestly hope no ignorant idiots watch this and think "Great, I'm legally allowed to catch and kill those birds!"
I know the likelihood isn't high, but the fact that it's even slightly likely is stressing me out! Our wildlife is incredibly precious and deserves respect and protection. Had to get that out of my system :(
It worked! I caught a Squirrel and a Sparrow and some pigeons!
Try the other one in the vid response, some birds are too wary to walk under a box/cage.
at 1:01 can i ask what happened to your hand? i might be mistaken but i looks like all the fingers and thumb are gone! Fair play to you cause that doesnt slow you down and im proud of you cause most people would sit on their backsides and collect the unemployed benifit but you seem as active as a regular person!! Well Done!
So creative, once again keep up the good work, like you're tapping videos
Ok, so first I want to thank you for this. It is genius!!!
Second, I want to say that I am crying because I bought a different one just before I found this video. Wha Ha!!!
Where can I find boxes like this without too much trouble?
I have some old anchor spikes from a tent that I no longer use. Perfect for this!!!
Will drill hole in rat trap for it.
Tee Hee!!
I am thrilled about this!!
people are like "it's an Australian myna", I'm just sitting here like "it's a bird."
Says a lot about your intelligence, doesn’t it?
How did you manage to arm the trap without pulling down the trap part? I have some traps and they refuse to arm otherwise.
So I have to know what got you flagged for on TH-cam? lol Great videos man.
Ingenius! Going to make it with my son, just to look at the birds, then release them.
i was thinking snake or spider bite.. seriously impressed that he can manipulate the bones in his hand so he can still use it...im sure hes probably answered the question b4 and it probably gets tiring and annoying so i wouldnt expect an answer..check his other videos
Great video . Especially since Im carrying a rat trap in my bugout bag already . Thanks alot
I caught a dove but I don't know how to remove it from the box because it's just flying up and down so I'm kind of stuck at this point. A little help please
Would this type of trap work with large game birds? If so, how would they be lured in?
I have a giant population where I live and it worked thanks for your help
Can you use somthing else besides a mous trap maybe a home made one?
brilliant video. simple to use and assemble. subscribed thanks.
Good vid & nice trap but, the first bird you got was a "Noisy Miner" not a "Indian Myna". "Noisy Miner's" are native to Australia.
Yep sure was, well it was one of three cameras that was used.
Noisy miners are native to australia
I was going to say that wasn't an Indian myna, hope he let it go...
Gavin Flynn yes but no less annoying
Yup ,silent simple and effective! Congrats
nice trap man. what bait did you use? i built it like 1 hour ago and i used bread.
Where the hell did you pick up all the stuff man you're pretty good at that
im going to try this! thanks mate!
weve got some top notch pidgeons that annoy the dog aha!
Thats awesome! Is that a go pro u were using?
Great video!
The spring part of the rat trap isn't used. The birds legs aren't harmed. Watch the video closely and you'll see it's the tension on the string that supplies the recoil not the bar spring.
Thanks!This is a very good tutorial on catching birds!:D
you can get suspended from youtube??? tell me about it? how you did that. i just started putting up some clips. i like your traps. real cool.
FPS: Thanks for the video. Correct me if I'm wrong but you pre drilled a hole in the rat trap so that you're not hammering a nail through the trap. And then you're not actually setting the trap as you would to catch vermin. Not bad. thinkes for the videoyw, mite.
Thank you , this Is a vegan way of getting rid of my magpies, big thank you !!!!
Hey that's a pretty nifty setup. Thanks!
ive tried the trap here in spain and it seems that the birds are more suspicios or something anyway a great method the proof is that it works down under take care ed from spain
Hey don't mind negative comments about left hand god made that happen for a reason not because he's mad at u because he loves u and it was for a purpose and nice trap
you're the man, nice and cheap trap thanks
Great video man! I'm now off to the store to get a rat trap! Really simple thanks for the post...BTW brother how did you scar yourself so badly Looks like a gator rolled your hand? Anywhoo keep the videos coming and thanks again for teach me to trap birds this easy.
sweet cool thanks but whats up with your hand ?
i think i messed up cus my mousetrap cracked in two (i was expecting that) and i wonder if you had the same problem before in doing it or if i just have a bad trap
You really creative, i like your trap
Can u use regular bread from the market?
yes, regular bread. If you want to use seed watch the latest vid on how to attach it.
Do you have any ideas or can this be modified to catch guinea fowl in a domestic situation. I don't wsant to harm them
How does this harm them?
Yeh the hole was drilled. If you try hammering it through it may crack.
Your hand? One thing for certain, it damn sure don't slow you down. You should make up a few of the wildest stories you can imagine to mess with the curious.
Love your vids dude, keep going.
Does it matter what kind of mouse trap you use ?
Nice Post! Thank You for Posting.
Yeh they will work just as well.
if i was going to trap birds i would really considert using your trap i thing you commmentated well
Brilliant! Thanks man!!!
