The best trap for placing on individual nestboxes is the Van Ert trap that you can find here: http://www.vanerttraps.com/universal.htm . If you want a general trap to place out where you can trap many house sparrows at once, get a Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap here: http://www.sparrowtraps.net I wish you the best of luck with your house sparrow problem but it can be tackled with diligence and persistence!

They are probably the number one killer of backyard birds. I would love to see a photo of the nest in your orange tree. You can sent it to me by email to: webmaster@BackyardBirdman.com and I will try to identify it for you. I am getting ready to take a trip down Sacramento way in about three weeks to visit another trail monitor. I will have loads of information to report when I get back. Larry Hi Marla,

Any idea what type of bird this nest is built by. They have abandoned it because I have 4 cats. Thanks I like your website! Marla Hi,
