had a bird get out through the bob wires today any ideas how to stop this?
Put a board up or a wire across to stop the bobs opening from side to side, they are not to far apart are they

morning all thanks for the info, yes there is a board inside, should I remove it? I do have a board that covers the wire's when not in use, only I had a bird go missing for around 5hrs so wanted to leave the trap open for its safe return but one bugger got out, so had to put all birds in a basket until the lone ranger returned not ideal, but at least it did return, all the birds are flying around the loft for around 45min apart from the one bird that keeps breaking away & returns after about 2hrs so all seems to be going well..

Two birds have started to use the inner board as a perch & when I try to get the birds in that have been out for longer with some feed on the landing board the ones already home start going mad on the inner board spooking the one's trying to trap so I think I'd better remove it?

One thing I will say Daz is if they can get out things can get in
