    I used to bait them with whole pieces of stale bread that were hard as a rock. All they could do was peck at them but they could not fly away with the bread so they presented a great target for the air rifle.

    Hi All,

    Update on the PG Trap, finally caught the first Myna Bird Yesterday.

    Also caught two black birds and a thrush (Both released) over the last week.

    So the trap does work, just need to work on a bait that won't attract other birds.

    I hear dried red cat food is better, but still unable to find any that is red. If any one knows of a brand that sell red dry food, please reply.

    See ya...Gary

    TVP "bacon bits" seem to work on most bird species, or cut up "beggin strips"
