Below is free advice and tips on how to trap mynas using the Central Coast Deer and Vermin Controls Myna Magic Humane Cage Trap.
- 1. Make sure the cage trap is correctly put together, view the video instructions. Mirrors(facing inwards) and doors on the inside of cage.
- 2. Doors(flaps) can be closed, but can also be left open as the prongs will catch on the Mynas wings when it tries to exit(you may need to bend the prongs inwards a little depending on how large(fat) your Mynas are. Push your hand through to make sure they open and close freely if you have the doors(flaps) down. Your cage has been designed to have the doors(flaps) up or down. Most Mynas will push through, but some are too lazy.
- 3. Place cage trap between where the Myna comes from and goes too. Place in a shady spot, with a clear area around the cage trap so mynas can see that the area is safe. Avoid areas with heavy human and animal traffic.
- 4. The following is what i do and the bait i mainly use, but as a professional trapper I also analyse the area and situation. Only put bait within the cage. Small cat biscuits(Friskies Meaty Grills, Silvester’s (chicken & tuna, chicken & turkey, sardine & prawn)) and/or dog meat(devon) roll and/or fruit(figs, berries, etc), mince, McDonalds chips and fish & chips. One or two small pieces in the entry funnels and some in front of the mirrors. Keep the bait fresh. But change the bait, mynas like people prefer different foods. Do not use the same food as you are giving your pets. Animal food can change from batch to batch. Do not overfeed the mynas, they are only small. If you have the holding(catching cage) i would mainly put the food in the holding(catching cage). Alternatively we have had customers using mince, bread, dog biscuits, cat biscuits, fruit and human food.
- 5. Monitor the Cage trap daily. And never touch cage during daylight hours where mynas can see you. Mynas see humans as danger, so if you keep going next to the cage they will see the cage as danger. Keep the cage trap clean and dry.
- 6. If Mynas look at food in cage but do not enter it is because they are already full of food or do not think the food is interesting enough to eat. Or it sounds like the birds could be trap shy, somebody has tried to catch the birds unsuccessfully within your area.
- 7. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t catch birds every day. They may have moved to another food source in the area but will return if the trap has fresh food/bait.
- 8. A “caller” bird in the holding chamber of your trap will encourage others to the trap. So, don’t be in a rush to dispose of the first bird caught, as it will call others into the trap, but at the end of the day dispose of the trapped birds as a distressed bird will not attract but will repel.
- 9. Use gloves when handling live or dead birds as these birds may carry disease.
Please be patient as the birds may take from 1 to 30 days to enter, depending on the environment. But keep trying as you will be successful if you persist!
