CatWeazle 0 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi! I am new to this forum. Just joined in order to ask advice about jackdaws because we are being MADDENED by 3-4 dozen of them. They fly around our property, ALL day EVERY day, making a fearful noise and eating the food we put out for the chickens and also for our new little garden doves. SO ANNOYING! They even get through the very small door into the hen house to eat the food we hide inside there. Such a nuisance. I've had enough! Tried shooting them with an airgun. Not very successful. Got two and hung them up in the chicken run to frighten away the others, but that didn't seem to bother them at all. A shot gun would be too noisy in our neighbourhood. Have been told that jackdaws won't go into a Larsen trap as it looks too small and frightening to them.. ANY COMMENTS ON THIS? A funnel trap doesn't sound very promising either. Am considering make a large home made cage and putting food inside it to tempt them in. Not sure how big it needs to be. What do you think? BUT THEN HOW WOULD I ACTUALLY TRAP THEM ONCE THEY HAD GONE INTO THE CAGE? Would be so grateful for any advice. Thanks so much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
