swilcox Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Can any one tell me what the best fancy birds to use as trappers for my young birds are??? I have never used any but may give a try as the nieghbours moan when i blow my whistle. Stuart
ribble Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Stewart, have you thought about using a silent dog whistle. The birds will hear it but your neighbours wont.
Guest Vic Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Try any of the well sought after "fancy" families, (including your own ) THE SELECTION IS ALMOST UNLIMITED, VAN DER EU. ETC. AND THE YORKSHIRE RIPPERS.NEVER TRIED THE EAST COAST, PROFESIONALS. BUT IM SURE THEY WILL DRAG ANYTHING DOWN. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
jimmy white Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 best fancy birdto get yb,s in is" speckled" ;D if youve seen her getting birds in , their like lightning ;D true ;D i suppose a fantail would be best [but maybe fanciers wouldnt want to buy any white birds off you ;D]
Merlin Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Fantails are best making sure its well trained,from hand to trap ,straight in only.
THE FIFER Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 I use garden fantails, which are used to having a fly then sitting on the loft so i make sure they are out about an hour befote birds are due, I keep my fantails in with young birds they are good for learning youngsters to eat etc and the young birds get to know them, i also have a couple of westies but would never use for trappers they like flying too much,
chubs Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 would parlour rollers work well seeing as they don't fly?
