Which trap has proven effective for capturing large numbers of starlings?

The modified Australian crow trap is particularly effective for capturing large numbers of starlings due to its design, which allows for the accommodation of multiple birds while ensuring they cannot escape once they enter the trap. This type of trap often features a funnel or series of entry points that encourages birds to enter but makes it difficult for them to exit, capitalizing on the social behavior of starlings, which often gather in flocks.

Additionally, the modified design may incorporate features that attract starlings specifically, such as the use of bait or specific shapes that mimic natural roosting sites, increasing its effectiveness. Understanding the specific trapping mechanism is crucial for pest management, especially with species like starlings that can cause significant agricultural damage when they flock in large numbers.
