Magpie Decoy with Mounting Rod Description
Magpie traps can be extremely effective at reducing the numbers of these wily birds- and anyone with an interest in conservation or gamekeeping will be interested these plastic magpie decoys- which help you to catch the all-important first bird.
Realistically shaped and painted- these hollow decoys are designed to help you to catch a call bird- and once you have one- you can be sure that plenty of others will follow. The GWCT recently conducted a study which found that a trap with a call bird is fifteen times more likely to catch others than a trap that is simply baited- and this decoy may just give you the edge to get started.
Magpie decoys can be used with Multi Larsen Trap– Solway Larsen Trap– and the Multi Catch Magpie Trap – and they include a length of wooden dowel which can be driven into the ground to secure the item in a conspicuous spot where it will attract the attention of wild birds. All live catch traps should be checked at least once every day- and call birds caught using a magpie decoy should be provided with sufficient quantities of water and food. More information on laws which relate to larsen traps can be found in our guide to larsen traps.
