Feral Bird Trap

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

🛠️ But there’s hope! The clever crew at Tamworth Birdwatchers Inc. has developed a simple and effective feral bird trap to help restore balance. 💡

🎥 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. 👏

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