Alemon 12“ Bird, Pigeon, Quail Humane Live Trap Hunting Bird Trap, with Trap Installation Instruction

Product is perfect, can be a little tricky to set the trigger but it has to be for sensitivity. My suggestion is you have a lot of squirrels in the area, stake it down in case you catch one. I am ordering another because I have no clue where mine is now. Sorry squirrel 🐿️

Purchased this to try to catch a pesky robin that has been messing our doors and windows. It takes at least 3 limbs (either 2 people or 1 person using their knee or foot in addition to both hands) to set this trap. The spring, metal, and net seem to be good quality. The trigger mechanism, on the other hand, is absolute junk. It comes loose and snaps my hand almost as often as it actually sets. The instructions are poorly written so it possible that an engineer can make this work. I am not an engineer. The bait is held to the trigger mechanism by a safety pin! In trying to secure a piece of bread as bait, the safety pin pulls through the bread. All-in-all, a waste of money.

This humane live bird trap is like the ultimate VIP lounge for pigeons, quails, and their feathered friends. At 13”x26”, it’s spacious enough to keep the birds comfortable and contained, and once it’s set up, it works surprisingly well. I’ve already caught a couple of feathered escape artists who thought they could outsmart me—spoiler: they couldn’t.However, let’s talk about the setup. Calling it “finicky” is putting it politely. It took way more effort than I’d like to admit to get it ready, and at times I felt like I was solving a puzzle I didn’t sign up for. Once it’s assembled, it’s sturdy and effective, but getting there was a journey.The trigger mechanism also feels like it could use some fine-tuning—it occasionally needs a little nudge to work perfectly. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely room for improvement.All in all, this trap does the job once you wrestle it into place. If you’ve got some patience and a little grit, it’s a solid tool for bird-wrangling. Four stars from me—effective, but not exactly plug-and-play.

The metal frame is bare ready to rust metal with no coating. The bamboo trip trigger was moldy. The string to the bamboo trigger was too short and I had to change it out. Does it work? It got me several times while setting it - but so far the sparrows have avoided it and the bait I'm using.

You have to be a little bit creative with this on setting it.. But once you can get it tweaked it works great.I caught 2 birds within the first 2 days and about 2 more over the next week. I have never had a false trigger. I place a small piece of bark under the trigger's 3 strings (if you buy it you will know what I am talking about) and I place a mound of bird seed on the bark. Of course placement is huge.. I place it on the bottom of an active bird feeder where the ground gets alot of activity.

The trigger mechanism consists of a stick with a tapered end and a very small ferrule with a notch cut in it.Made from bamboo I believe.First time I tried to set it up, I put the tapered end of the stick in the notch of the ferrule, and stated to release pressure on the trap, the pressure of the stick just broke the ferrule in half.Bad design. Ferrule should have been made of metal.Cannot recommend this product.

It got all unwanted trouble makers. Got the first one in less than an hour...even got 2@ the same time! Buy it. It's not hard to set or open! I baited the area for a few days w/o the trap... Set the trap then bingo...gottem.

rusts where its laying when exposed to the elements. No pigeons caught.
