Sputnik Trap

[Jacobasmith]

I dont know how, but one of my birds has learned how to jump out of the entrance to a sputnik trap.

 

If there anyway to stop this?

 

thankyou.

you could try getting some pipe insulation and put it on the entrance see if that helps

be there when he does this then hit him back in it!! it worked for me anyway!!

or you could wait to see if he comes out himself and lock him out and starve him! again worked for me

I wired a long strip of wood about 1" deep along the bottom of the traps  - no trouble since.
