| A mate of my dads made him some like this years and years ago, and we still use them now. They arent as big as the ones you have made, but use the same trapping method. |

great for in and around the lofts
dont harm your birds or other pets
there is loads of ways to dispose of them
could take them miles away 
or just open the door in the garden like i do |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
