shopping basket from the coop a stick and a spool of line even had the odd squirrel in it, I actually made one last year with a figure of four trigger and a bait stick caught a collard dove in it just to see if I still had it, let it go as soon as I caught it and it,s now nesting in the tree so obviously not that stressful for him, happy memory's of a much less complex time of life
