@WVduckchick so sorry for your loss
Mine has a drop off but it also has two perches in the corner within about 8 inches of the trap and I've noticed that sometimes the dominant cock bird (who of course claimed those ones) would harass the others and prevent/slow them from coming in.@biophiliac @CCUK I got a question, for the bob wire trap, is it better fir the birds jump through it, or is it better for them to walk straight thru? Like, should there be a drop off so that when they go through, they land 12 inches down or so?
