Question

Is it safe to use the first trap so I can catch a dove and keep it as a pet?

Community Answer

No, as that trap could easily kill the bird. Also, please don't keep wild animals as pets. If you want a dove, look for a breeder in your area.

Question

What if I am in a survival situation?

Community Answer

You should try to use the first one, as it will tire the bird more.

Do any of them work with pigeons?

Community Answer

Yes. The first one works best for pigeons, it's better for birds with some real weight.

Question

Why will birds fall for the bird trap?

Community Answer

They generally don't know exactly that this is a trap, all they understand is that there is food and the humans are providing it.

Question

Can I use a nail to make the hole for step three on the second trap instead of a pen?

Community Answer

Yes. Of course you can, actually a nail is more effective. It just depends on how big the nail is, for how big you want the hole to be. Note: the hole should not be too big, just enough for the string to go through.

Question

How can I make this without a drill?

Community Answer

You could use a rock and stake. Place the stake at where you want the hole and beat it with the rock until you get the right size hole you want. In this scenario, this would be a survival method out in the wilderness.
