Looks great mark - what are the rough dimensions?

i don't think the smell would bother them as long as there is plenty of grub for them in it. i done a ladder trap with a water base paint 4 years ago still perfect.

**How effective would one of these be for controlling magpies.**

it's work on the mag's also but i found that a larsen work's better,

i'm new to this, how does the ladder trap work? the birds get in through the holes but what stops them getting back out?

the gist is that the birds perch on the top rail and drop in through the ladder with their wings folded. When they try to escape they are flying, so with wings outstretched, they can't fit through.

 

Jackdaws are a bit tricky though....

thanks, it's a simple idea really. I was over thinking the whole thing
