Although u lack fingers sir, but i have to admit you are doing a better job than i do! Respect for that! .. you truly inspire me! so Thank you a million

[@FoodForThought.]

I've been looking to make my own bird trap. I love your design, and yes, you actually showed it working and catching a bird. Thanks Gordon.

[@stustutbird420]

This explains your traps in ARK ... its a passion that carries over ... nice

[@northwindl]

one of the best vids in all of youtube... thank you.

[@vintageliving]

Excellent stuff man, as always! Your engineering skill in trap making never ceases to amaze me....

[@OrderArmsUSA]

Excellent, excellent, excellent job. Your channel is very different than most others, keep it going in this direction and you have another subscriber.

[@erinowl4407]

Thanks for the great and simple trap demonstration. I remember YEARS ago seeing a field and stream magazine bird trap that actually used a mousetrap or rat trap and cage wire on a tin can to catch (very small) birds. However, they had to go INTO the tin can to get the bait and get caught. I LOVE your net idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@gardenhuntsmen]

you sir a amazing you have that done to your hand and you still dont let anything hold you back, yu are my role model to be sure. so much respect to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pockEclipse]

nice vid - very cool, relatively easy to make trap. those two nails for the loop to catch on - that's a stroke of brilliance :)

[@flamedrag18]

great idea. a good way to take the flex out of the trigger wire is to heat and quench it, making it a lot harder and tenser.

[@jwafterours]

i live in nyc and have been trying to catch a cardinal without any success. this will work. thanks mate!!!

[@Moldymonke]

Dude ur cooool, don't let ur disabilities EVER hold u down . Two thumbs up to u man... Best of luck

[@1sailingmax]

Good video. I tried it, but my wire wasn't strong enough so I used a spring loaded gate hinge. Instead of the large wire loop, I made it out of the black hose you use for setting up irrigation systems. I also attached the net with cable ties.

[@johnwaters97]

By now he should be considering customizing a T-shirt saying ''I was in WAR, now stop asking''

[@JoshyC12G]

I have that pdf and instantly recognized this trap haha. Awesome. Got some great stuff in there!

[@WayToVibe]

I love that you release native birds and keep the non-native birds. Non-native species often times cause the full extinction of native animals when they are not removed.

[@siyarafg]

this is the best trap I ever seen in my life ,, thanks mate very nice.

[@jorgreiling2755]

Simple, cheap and effective. Well done.

[@BwanaFoster]

Nice work mate I have seen something similar in a book on trapping but its great to see one made from scratch and then actually see it making a succesful catch! Well done mate!

[@myothernewname]

This is one cool tap. Not sure I've ever seen anything like this. Awesome job dude.

[@matthewruth2528]

I will haveto say this is the best bird trap and most easy to make and for that i subscribed kepp up the good work I hope you hit 1M subscribers sooon and good luck with your channel.

[@StephenCooteNZ]

Well-presented video. Great trap idea. Best wishes from Nelson, New Zealand.

[@rizgarpenjweny7522]

i think this is one of the best i have seen it dose not hurt the bird at all and very practical thanks for this video

[@moabdulhamid6839]

how are you man? sorry for the stupid comments others made they must don't realize how offensive this is, i like your trap,it looks similar in idea to commercial mouse and other traps, i downloaded the video to work on this later, i needed to know how did you mount the bait plate (the round one) on top of the metal piece you made in shape.?

[@behindtheblackstump2247]

Awesome trap mate. Good ingenuity. You got a thumbs up from me.

[@connorbrown9321]

eespect this guy he is still making videos for us even when he has 1 hand like if you agree with me!

[@pyorba]

Really great. My kids won't let it go. Practical survival skill also.

[@Bobbit323]

Awesome trap. My dad used the same type of net to protect his small fruit trees from birds, it ended up catching at least 1 bird every day because they became entangled in it. None of them died in the end luckily so no harm done.

[@nachokingnachoking9130]

Dude thats was awsome that be cool to show kids different type of bird that live in there town awsome job brada keep it up

[@midclock]

Looks like a very good trap!

[@Coolkc456]

There isn't anything "wrong" with his hand. My mom knows a man who's hand is very similar and he's a mechanic. He can do incredible things with his hand some of us people with fingers can't even do. They can do the most complex things that most of us wouldn't even believe unless we see it. On to the subject of the video, that's an awesome bird trap :D It works well!! :)

[@boxing4449]

Thanks for the video, I will try this when I go to the forest, god bless you

[@dbayboyds409]

So clever with the locking nails!

[@stephenlaurence782]

I'm sorry about whatever happened to your hand! But this is a awesome freaking video thanks for sharing!!

[@isiscross1816]

Ever know you have no fingers u are so talented 💖💓💕

[@Jeffrich308]

Just stumbled across your channel and love your videos!

[@NYPrehistory]

Thanks for the video. Great way to catch birds without harming them.

[@krispoli22]

jk one of the best how to videos i have seen on youtube. You should do a video on how to do a youtube video lol

[@mikeash7428]

Clever. Thanks. I'm trying to catch some peacocks. Your trap might not have enough fling for a bigger hoop but for smaller birds it's a winner.

[@agrt4889]

you have such awesome native birds!!

[@MegaGispa]

Smart trap you've made. Good explanations, efficient trap. Good job.

[@MichaelJohnson-ig4xp]

Great trap, thank you for show me how to make one.

[@Liuhuayue]

Clever trap, and beautiful birds!

[@MrBenski81]

Another sensational Vid mate! You make us Aussies proud! If Aus ever comes under attack or we have a global food shortage and I want any chance of surviving, my best bet is to find you I recon lol! Again, another top Vid! Keep them coming. A++ Cheers Ben.

[@stigmastorm5204]

You are surprisingly nimble despite your hand, I salute you good sir!

[@hiluxxman]

Brilliant.. thanks mate i have been looking everywhere for simple instructions for this kind of trap. i have used an arapuca type trap. made myself. caught a few things. cheers mate

[@Mikeandwendy74]

Great video man good job, quite a trap, I like the quick snap action :)

[@PLEDGEY]

I like the adding of egg white trick, good idea.

[@dippai9407]

man can do anything even only one of his hand is working! you prove thAT MAN!! um inspired!!! =)

[@TrevorPhillips2024]

Yeah, it's really great to see you performing just as well and even better than some people with two fully functional hands...that's what we call determination :D

[@TheFalconer1970]

GREAT VIDEO! ONE OF THE BEST FROM KZbin FOR MY BIRD STUFF!!! CONGRATS MY FRIEND!!!!!!!

[@boonvue12]

That was a nice trap, i cant even come up with something like that, keep up the good work

[@kylelassiter7406]

Wow man your hand wasnt formed went u was young but what i think is cool is that ur still up and running man u learned how to use your deformed hand i give u props

[@haydos781]

realllly good instructional video to follow, great job, thanks for that, should help with indian myna problem..

[@Colhane]

Brilliant trap. Thanks for posting.

[@FullmetalAngyl]

I used a simple bricks and clothes pins trap once as a kid, but one of the bricks fell over and a poor little sparrow was killed. I know what I did wrong with it, but didn't try that trap again after that. This is a fantastic design, I ever try trapping again I might make one of these.

[@wpatrick22744]

thanks for sharing brother.gonna give that a go.got alot of wood pigeon dropping in my garden.

[@harrythepup]

Bloody brilliant, thanks for sharing your knowledge . My ol' man is gunna get a kick out of this, cheers from NTH/E Vic euroa.

[@Jakob0Guns]

I lost 3 fingers, and it does not hurt.. as you can see in the video its not a fresh wound, obviously he would not be making youtube videos if that just happened. You just need to adept a bit. Great video, subscribed for sure.

[@BrightCrochet]

Very nice trap, I think I will try this. Thank you!

[@Joe_Goofball]

Very clever. When I was a kid, I had snakes I had to feed, and used a mousetrap baited with birdseed that was "glued" to the bait pedal with corn syrup. The birds would peck at the seeds and were killed by the trap. The snakes being equal opportunity predators accepted prey whether live or dead, so it wasn't an issue...

[@mitchie747]

Good on you for releasing it your a very nice guy!

[@FPSoutback]

I just caught myna 2 days ago, hadn't seen one arond here for years! The next vid I put up will likely be another bird trap, more expedient and simple then this one. I got the myna catch on film.

[@Pauljs82]

I would think most squirrels would chew through the netting if they were left for more than a few minutes after the trap went off. I have found that using a figure four trigger and a wire cage without a bottom or even a milk crate works(you have to put wire to make the handle holds smaller on a milk crate). Here is a decent video on how to make one.

[@junito1957]

sweet trap and that bird is expensive like 1 to 2k!! , great video and thanks for posting it

[@GrowlinWillie]

Awesome dude! That could put food on the table if need be.

[@TCreatorO]

DUDE! thats freaking genious! I have to save it to my favorites!

[@opn888]

Cool trap. Thanks for showing this video.

[@guiltygearcore]

I will make this one. Nice trap mate. Imma get some starlings with this.

[@guiltygearcore]

We have black starlings here. Its invasive too.

[@guiltygearcore]

+James Lopez yeah.

[@sangamonjack]

Pidge didn't have a chance. You rock!

[@jjdrfc1185]

I done this then the crow is now attached to me and I tried letting go but it will stay with me so I keep it as a pet

[@peteacher52]

Very good, but I fear that the cunning mynahs and magpies would get wise to this trap rather quickly! Number 10 HT fencing wire would be rather more difficult to handle, but it's brilliantly springy if you have the tools to bend it as shown. Peter, NZ.

[@nugrumbeam]

wow thats great! nice job man it works perfectly... the birds dont get hurt too :)

[@bradypatterson7269]

cool trap, think im gonna make one for my self, thanks for posting the video too.

[@brucezarek1215]

awesome video, love the trap. I'm building one.

[@kw2798]

I'm gunna build one on my next day off. Subbed. Will let you know how I go.

[@mikeoutdoorsman]

Great video. I love learning new traps, especially primitive ways to make traps if you didn't have man made items, This trap technique could be used with primitive materials, thats what I like about this method.

[@crazychikcen]

Lobe the idea been waiting to show me how to make this trap thanks

[@samuelsharun9327]

That was great man am impressed with the trap

[@dogswoodrandom3996]

dont ask him about his hand its a gift and great job

[@Nas96__]

awesome video, great slow motion by he way.

[@equarg]

That is really cool and simple....I am gonna try it! Gonna leave a like too!

[@xXBIGBADSCARXx]

dude you are awesome for making this video thanks sooo much

[@KudaPucat]

Awesome! Loving that you actually demonstrated the trap! Also the locking pins are a great idea. Tell me, how stressful is the trap? In the city here the chances of catching a native are rare indeed, but how long could you leave a turtledove or myna there before dealing with it? Is it a weekend thing or can I set them and head off to work for the day? Kudos on not caring about the hand, I always hide my mangled thumb and finger, I wish I was that confident.

[@somebodylove1490]

Very interesting trap. Very clever thank you

[@xXItNeedzCheezXx]

Awesome! I don't have the materials to do it, but it's cool

[@henrysmythe2256]

Love this trap am so looking forward to making this XD

[@aetherblade]

Maaaate brilliant trap! 8 less Starlings over the weekend!

[@roninkegawa1804]

Could you please explain the locking/trigger mechanism? Thanks.

[@billyandrew]

Excellent video *and* you nearly caught two of them! Lol.

[@sbx500a]

very useful trap, is it possible to catch fast-moving birds? like sparrows or something else.

[@MohamedUAE]

You the best man, love the video. If you can in the future please show us how can we make the trap with the remote control. we have them here in UAE but wanna know how can we make them DIY

[@vanessabrousseau9358]

Cool trap. Good job!

[@labelle9477]
