I’m trying but nothing is going in the traps! Not even sparrows! Dammit!
I think I have three problems:
1) Non-ideal location in our aviary: I think I have to catch somewhere else on campus (but I’m not sure I can do this – have to wait for Keith to get back), or go to Keith’s backyard and set up there.
2) Non-ideal seed: I need to get sunflower seeds.
3) Non-ideal traps: I need to make feeders and funnel traps. Thanks to Dana I’ve got specs and am ready to start constructing.
On the bright side, my starlings are doing fine. I guess worse-case senario, I catch juvenile starlings and work on them… that’s a pretty bad senario though. Not giving up yet!
Everyone cross your fingers and do a little HOFI dance for me! Dance people, dance!!!!

Haha. I look forward to your tales of this venture.
“that’s a pretty bad senario though. ”
I think I’d have to agree. 😛
On another note, a starling *threw up* on me today. I have officially seen it all.
