Feral Bird Trap

🚨 Feral birds like the Common Myna, Starling, and House Sparrow are wreaking havoc on our native birds 🐦 β€” stealing food, taking over nests, and damaging crops and infrastructure! 😟

πŸ› οΈ But there’s hope! The clever crew at Tamworth Birdwatchers Inc. has developed a simple and effective feral bird trap to help restore balance. πŸ’‘

πŸŽ₯ In this video, 94-year-old legend Eric shows how to build the trap, with expert tips from Annabel. It’s practical, DIY-friendly, and a fantastic way to make a real difference. πŸ‘

🌿 This project was proudly supported by Tamworth Regional Landcare Association and beautifully produced by Matt Foley of Folmac Video Productions. πŸ™Œ
