bird snares NEWBIE question(s)

[airmountainman 0]

I am always looking for different ways to trap feral pigeons around here for dog training. I was told that a person could tie a bunch of snare to a weighted metal grate, through down some feed and then there would be a bunch of pigeons caught in them.

 

Problem is I have no clue how to tie/make the snares. How do you make a snare that will catch a bird? I know they use a similar method for catching birds of prey for falconry. So I am looking for some direction here (get to admit my ignorance). What do you tie the snares with (material) and how do you tie them?

 

Thanks

p.s. I am going to post this in a few different sections seeing as I am not sure where the best place to post it.

No it is not against the law here. I will be monitoring this so that I do not have dead pigeons. I use a pigeon trap frequently but, as stated just looking at other methods. The trap usually requires baiting for week or two.

The snares your on about for catching birds of prey are called bal-chatri. You will prob need to google it or something but basically its loads of snares made out of fishing line.

I did a search using that term and found exactly what I needed. Thanks for the input here. I will report back with my findings. When I ask building managers if I can trap pigeons on their roof around here then practically beg me to bring a trap kind of funny. Works for both of us. I am just looking at some other methods.
