Catch and Release Bird Traps Remove Pest Birds Humanely

Posted on May 11, 2014 by Alex Kecskes in Bird Deterrents

Pest birds like pigeons and crows can become quite a nuisance when they build nests on your property. Birds gathering on rooftops, parking garages, or other open areas can leave unsightly, disease-carrying droppings that are hard to reach and expensive to clean. Bird droppings can also damage roofs, rooftop AC units, skylights, solar panels, antennas, security cameras, and lighting, while nesting materials can clog rain gutters and even cause electrical fires. Catch-and-release bird traps provide an effective, humane solution for removing pest birds from specific areas. For more tips on managing these issues, be sure to check out our guide on how to safely and humanely get rid of birds.

How Bird Traps Work

Bird B Gone Catch & Release Bird Traps (also known as live bird traps) consist of wire trap cages that lure pest birds in with a little bird feed. The traps feature a funnel door that permits birds to walk in but prevents them from walking out, allowing you to safely release the birds into an open country or wilderness area. An easy-access door on top of the cage lets you conveniently remove the bird or birds depending on the model.

A Humane Alternative to Lethal Means

Catch-and-release bird traps provide a humane alternative to poisons, pellet guns, or other lethal means of bird control. These traps can be used indoors or outdoors to control most species of birds, giving you the satisfaction of returning and releasing a bird to its natural habitat without injury. If you have neither the time nor the expertise to install traditional bird deterrents, catch-and-release traps offer an ideal solution.

Insist on Quality Bird Traps

When choosing bird traps, make sure you invest in a high-quality product built to last. Bird B Gone bird traps are constructed from sturdy galvanized wire and are available in different sizes to accommodate many types and sizes of birds, including pigeons, crows, and swallows.

Multi-Bird Traps

If your property has been inundated with large numbers of birds, multi-bird traps are available that can hold as many as 30 pest birds at once. Some models include built-in food and water reservoirs, while others incorporate a slanted design with adjustable legs specifically for trapping birds flocking to angled rooftops.

Specialized Bird Traps

For unique snaring situations, specialized traps are available:

  • Snap Traps: Feature a bait tray that, once triggered, safely captures a bird in a spring-loaded nylon net. These can be mounted on buildings and walls or placed in trees.
  • Collapsible Pigeon Trap: Available with or without a shaded cover, this trap collapses down to just 1 inch in height for easy storage.
  • Pigeon Motel: Features two one-way entry doors, making it ideal for commercial or residential use.
  • Large Pigeon Trap: Comes complete with integrated shade, food pans, and water pans for animal comfort during capture.
