*Rules to Follow*
1. When operating the trap, there are a few rules you need to follow.
2. Only use it when starlings are visiting your yard eating suet.
3. Place the trap where it is visible from inside your house so you can see when birds are caught.
4. When in use, monitor the trap frequently. Starlings can escape and native birds may get caught.
5. If a native bird is captured, it should be released immediately. To release a native bird, just open the door and it will fly out.
6. In Topeka, I’ve caught American robins, common grackles, dark-eyed juncos, and yellow-rumped warblers. But there are many kinds of birds that like peanut suet, so expect others.
7. If you can’t monitor for a period of time, block the funnels or open the door of the trap.
8. Be careful when removing starlings from the trap so that they don’t escape.
9. Beware. They will use their long pointed bill to stab and bite you. You should wear gloves when handling them.
10. Do not leave starlings in the trap too long. Remove them shortly after capturing them to prevent birds from escaping.
11. Don’t release starlings somewhere else as that just moves the problem. Instead, they should be humanely euthanized.
12. There is a link in the description to learn more about euthanizing starlings.
