JAYSAnyone got any ideas how I can trap Jays without firearms,cattys etc,I've tried baited hooks but they won't touch them,every year they strip the fruit trees of cherries,plums etc,and I can't watch them all the time

i think you could use the same sorta trap as the keepers use to catch birds of prey and magpies and such, i havent got a pic but no doubt fish wil get a pic up for you to see as he is a wealth of noledge about this sorta thing | ||

A larson trap......I think they work for jays too, but you'll catch more magpies than anything | ||

an old gamekeerer i knew as a lad used to teather a white ferret in a larson,worked a treat and he allways ad a supply of jas and other corvids.
heres a good site all about larsens,and includes good diagrams of one to build: http://homepage.eircom.net/~jamesanthonyryan/new_page_20.htm |

Use rodent lime/tack. If it'll hold a full grown rat (and Spars, so I'm told  ) it'll hold a Jay.
