bird cage

[renato]

I am looking for a bird trap that is approximately 2 ft. x 2ft. x 2 ft. with coated wire. The door pulls open horizontally then closed vertically.

Can anyone tell me where I could find something like this?

Hi Renato, welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry - but I seem to misunderstand. How can a door slide open horizontally but close vertically? Is this possible?

[renato]

Does sound confusing doesn't it? The door on the trap is left open horizontally. When the bird enters the trap, someone pulls a string attached to the door, which moves horizontally on a track, then the door falls vertically at a right angle, trapping the bird inside.

The motion is: Pull out, drop down.

A friend of mine has one of these traps that she got about 30 years ago. I'd be interested in a used one, if anyone would like to sell it. Another concern (just to make things difficult!) is that the wire on the cage needs to be coated so that the door slides easily.

thank you for explaining this, Renato

But wouldn't the door close just as effectively is it would close horizontally? :unsure:

I hope someone will have one of these traps for you!

Is it intended to catch birds out in the wild?

[renato]

Since we can't seem to find this exact type of trap, we'd be interested in hearing about similar traps or resources for them.

This trap is meant to catch birds and move them to safer areas.

Thanks!

lol.. then you can't keep birds. they will fly away from you. And for some birds like pigeons you can practice them to come back to you. this technique is used to capture pigeons. you send a male/female pigeon he might come to you with a opposite sex pigeon

Your bird will spend most of his/her time, day and night in this cage. You must be sure that the cage will not be outgrown. The birds tail should not touch the bottom or the back of the cage while sitting on the perch. Birds like to stretch out their legs and flap their wings. Some experts agree 1-1/2 times your birds wingspan is a good space. Canaries and finches and other small birds like to "flutter" from perch to perch making short flights.
