A Closer Look at the Hawk Trap

This is an email I received from my reader. I think he is facing predator problem. He wants to know how this 

Trap works.

Hi James,

Regarding this topic, may I know how you set up this trap ?

What should I prepare to make this trap and  where to put them so that I could catch these 

hawks?

I know this hawk always flying and attack  swiftlets in the air.

It is very difficult to catch it. But I see your trap is working and hopefully can learn from you.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Aaron

( A closer look at the Hawk trap)

Above is the picture of the trap.  Bear trap is hard to find here but I managed to get them.( Those who want the Bear trap may contact me).

The Trap is tied onto the top of the cage with strong wire. Four sides of the cage are covered with wood so as the Hawk could focus and attack from the top where the Trap is placed.

A few days old chick is put inside the cage. Food and water are placed inside the cage for the chick. It should last at least 3 days.

Place trap in the roving area as this is the favorite place Hawks ambush.

Check trap every 2-3 days. Hawks often attack during midnight.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
