THE NEST-BOX TRAP FOR SPARROWS 

 I would like to call the attention of bird-lovers to the efficiency 

 of the nest-box trap for English sparrows. This trap is fully illus- 

 trated and described in U. S. Bulletin " The English Sparrow as 

 a Pest," but I have never found reference to its use in current bird 

 literature. 



Poisoned grain is liable to kill native birds. Wire traps must be 

 baited with tempting food, and after two or three settings in the 

 same place, sparrows will not enter at all. Shooting is effective to 

 only a limited extent, and dangerous as well as unlawful in towns. 

 In contrast to these methods, the nest-t)ox trap needs no bait 

 wliatever; every bird that enters disappears and will quickly die 

 of suffocation if not removed and killed ; it has the attraction of 

 mystery, for none of those that enter are able to warn their com- 

 panions of the danger ; and it is in working order all the time, 

 whether any one is at home or not.
