Y2.Try using whole kernel corn.You can get 10lb bags at just about any local feed store.Spread the corn around the outside and then add some into the middle of the cage.Dont spread a lot on the outside and that usually makes them go in the cage for more food.If the birds are shy going into the cage you can also tie the 'bob's' up so the birds can just walk right in,of course this wont catch any but builds their confidence to go in after the food.2-3 days of the cage entrance open then close it and go back to baiting around and in the cage again and it should draw the birds right in the trap for you.Good luck keep us posted.Take care,Jackson..
