Getting the Best Results
A few simple steps during the first days of deployment can make a significant difference to how quickly birds accept the unit and how effective it becomes.
Allow an acclimatisation period
Once the unit is in position, give birds at least a few days to get used to it and begin feeding from it before activating euthanasia. Birds are cautious around new objects — patience at this stage significantly improves capture rates.
Keep your distance
Try not to linger near the device once it is deployed. Birds associate humans with danger. The less human activity around the unit, the faster birds will accept it as a safe feeding location.
Clean out at night
If the unit requires servicing or cleaning, do this after dark. Birds are not active at night and will not observe or associate the activity with the device, preserving their confidence in it as a food source.
Blend into the surroundings
Where possible, position the unit so it sits naturally within the environment. Camouflaging it against a fence, wall, or vegetation reduces novelty and helps birds accept it more quickly.
Add a nearby water source
Placing a small water fountain or bird bath close to the unit can increase the number of birds visiting the area, creating more feeding activity around the device and improving results.
Use larger bait initially for scavenger species
For scavenger-type birds such as the Indian Myna, start with larger bait pieces placed outside or near the entrance. This encourages them to associate the location with food before they begin entering the tunnel.
