      Something really odd has been happening to the environment in England, some shenanigans . They blame it on climate change and loss of habitat but I can't see it. The birds are disappearing because the insects are, and cold blooded insects thrive in warm temperatures. Once you couldn't drive without getting a windscreen load of insects. There were still plenty of insects in the early 2000, but rapidly after that they started plummeting. Even big ants nests are a rarity in urban gardens, hover flies, once incredibly numerous, are rare. You'd get clouds of midges, even they're not around as much any more.

    to all the people who defend house sparrows and European starlings, simply google search and see the images of what they do to native birds. They are capable of slaughtering a mother bird and her chicks in order to take over her nest, it is not pleasent to see.

      Very easy to make. My coworker & I made one w/ hardware cloth & the wires from 1-2 or 3 pants hanger bought @ a thrift store. Make a cage from the hardware cloth (use wire & hognose pliers to connect the sides). Make 2 entrances in the sides & a door on top (for removal). For the entrances, be sure to leave a ledge the birds will have to step over in order to enter, maybe 1-1.5" tall. Attach to a solid base. Bait the trap for 2-3 days so they get comfy going in/out. After that, attach the rods from the pants hanger w/ wire to the doorway so the bottoms hang INSIDE the ledge @ the bottom of the doorways; be sure these are no more than 1.5 - 2.5" apart. The bottoms catching on the ledge make these into 1-way doors, & aren't so heavy the pigeons mind walking under them. You'll be amazed at how easily you'll trap them.

    Joe Carter Minkman did say rats and mice are fine being shown exterminated because no one likes them. But when it's a cute invasive pest, not everyone will be on your side anymore just simply because the animal is cute. Ignore its destructive and invasive habits, it's too adorable to be dispatched like the pest it is.

Had my brother not stumbled across the nest one day while caulking around the chimney , I couldve died from carbon monoxide poisoning from the blockage. Ive also found sparrow nests between the AC and my house many times.
