Trapping Mynas - page 4 / 5
   
Always approach traps slowly, particularly when there are birds inside – if you are free-feeding make sure that birds are able to leave without panic.
   
Ideally remove trapped birds at night, or at least when you are sure there are no others that can see or hear.
   
Keep other people, dogs and cats etc away while the trap is in operation – particularly when wild birds are free-feeding.
   
In the rare event that non-target species are trapped - simply release them by removing the base valves.
   
You may need to tie the trap down in windy situations - if it blows over with birds inside all your efforts may be wasted.
