Good for you for making this video. We need more awareness. I don't think people realize that if invasive species are left unchecked, it can lead to endangerment status or even extinction.

I've trapped and killed over 100 House Sparrows in my time of providing nest boxes. I just lost a female bluebird to a House Sparrow attack last week. I swiftly trapped and killed that male House Sparrow. I have zero tolerance for these birds. They are a stain on this ecosystem and their violent behavior for such a small bird disgusts me.

I absolutely hate House Sparrows with a passion. What they do to Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, and other native cavity nesting birds is just absolutely disgusting. I am glad that there are people that are aware of the destruction they cause and of course there are the stubborn people who don't even think that they are destructive that will let them nest on their property.

Thank you for sharing. I have had better luck with Sparrow traps with two main differences. First, traps with the entrance (and potential exit) along a wall are more likely escape able. Traps with the entrances to the center of the trap are less escapable. Second, traps with two chambers tend to be more secure. I built a ground funnel trap with two entrances to the center of the first chamber. The barrier between the first and second chamber slopes upward. This naturally progresses the captured bird upward and into an internal ceiling mounted funnel exiting into the holding chamber. Birds drop from the internal funnel and cannot physically re-navigate the inverted tunnel to re-enter the first chamber.

Good video. I'm just now learning how vicious these can be, killing other birds and building their nests right over them. There are some pretty gruesome videos out there showing these attacking bluebirds and others, to take over their nests. I'll be trapping them from now on and feeding them to other wildlife. Thanks for your video.

Use what you want but they absolutely love plain cracked corn. I was using a Hav A Hart live trap sized for squirrels to catch Chipmunks that eat wiring in cars. Placed it just under car and did catch them. Sparrows didn't hang around car until they found the corn and I caught several. Twice I caught 2 at a time. The trick it getting them out to break their neck cause they can slip past ya. Non escaped when trap happened to fall in the cows water tank.

I'm all for evicting invasive bird nests and eggs from bird houses but leave the live birds and babies alone. It's not their fault they are here. So, put up bird houses and remove house sparrow or starling nests and eggs when you see them nesting there. If enough bird houses are kept free of these invasive birds, native birds will have places to nest. In Connecticut this is done, and native birds (mainly the bluebird) have returned and are increasing in their numbers. It's no use killing the invasive birds as they will always be here now.

When I was a kid I used to trap sparrows with mouse traps. I would set 4 of them end to end so that they formed a square box, and then I put bird seed in the box and trails of seed going out for about 6" from each corner of the box. They would then end up getting hammered by one trap after another if they floundered around. They have very small breasts, but can be eaten if you wrap a piece of bacon around them and cook them in a toaster oven. Make very delicious snacks for parties. I once saw a booklet put out by the British govt. during WW II, with a recipe for sparrow pie or something like that.

As for eating starlings, there are a few good recipes out there: -simply breast out and fry up as per Sam Wood Outdoors here on YT -Escoffier, in his 1903 french bible of cooking Le Guide Culinaire -Starling stew with olives, from Turkey where it's known as "Karatavuk yahnisi," from Calvin Schwabe's book "Unmentionable Cuisine": "Fry some chopped turnips and carrots. Add a little stock and a glass of red wine. Place some starlings or other small birds in the pan. Add a thin purée of boiled potatoes mashed with beaten eggs, dry mustard, and some stock and a little beer. Cover with stock and cook for about 30 minutes, adding some ripe olives near the end."

A female house sparrow got into my house, I caught her by hand with a towel. I took her outside and killed her. She was harassing a Caroline Wren who wanted to make a nest in my flower box. The sparrow came back to the box and let herself in through the window. Thankfully I was able to put an end to that nasty pest. I threw the body into the area behind the house where the squirrels and raccoons go. Hopefully a racoon turned her into a tasty meal.
