The design incorporates a 20 mm gap along all meeting edges to minimise the risk of injuring birds.
The Elgeeco Crow and Magpie trap can be set on its side or upright on the ground or supported in a tree with an imitation nest with eggs or flesh carrion.
Camouflaging with hay or twigs entwined in the mesh can make these traps almost undetectable and less likely to be stolen.
Birds are more likely to enter the Elgeeco trap because they feel they can hop on and off the perch and leave through the open top or the opposite open side.
