So there is a piar of parots that have showed up in my yard and they probably belonged to someone close and escaped or were set loose. I'd like to catch'm. Dont know how to catch a bird without using a BB gun. Any pointers? Tricks? I dont want to hurt them, just tryin to keep them from getting scrubbed by the local hawks and falcons. Cought one on camera today . .

 

How about using a large fish net?

 

dude lure them into your house have like a bird feeder or something..

 

looks liek a huge stuffed thing. Give Us More Pic's!!

 

put on your safari hat and shorts and go parrot huntin

 

i tell ya...chase cam on a fast cat and let it loose....no im kiddin looks like a really nice bird....if its been in a cage...try and just feed it with food in your hand maybe its been "tamed" (i think thats the word)

 

flash bomb scare the hell out of the bird lol

 

ok what the hell...i searched catching a parrot on google...and all i got was how to cook and make pies and jewelry out of parrots CRAZY!

 

they make live traps for birds get one and put food in it, and put it in the tree. keep an eye out for lost fliers you can probably get a nice reward if you catch them. I can't tell what kind they are with that one pic get more and i can tell ya how much they are worth.

 

glock glock?...... nah...... get a taser chloraform? ether? valium in some birdseed?


or a FLASH BOMB!!!! would be hella tyte y0!!!!

 

id say soft large net, cause it seems the rest of you crazy americans just want to kill something, he wants it live.

 

Give it a cookie.

 

serisoly.. have u ever see nthat trick with the box ? the stick ? and the string ? but in this case get a metal bird cage open it up fro mthe top like a hinge, then with a stick maybe a foot long and with a Y on top wedge it inside the top of the bird cage then with a fishing string since the bird cant see that string that string inside your house an " LIE IN WAIT " lol trust me it works i use to catch cockatils back in california that way,,, it will work..

p.s. dont use the flash bomb i was only joking to scare the bird..
p.s.s. my step dad said stun gernade.. lol

 

These pics are from the other day. I have no idea what kind they are. They have only gotten close enough to attempt catching them with a towel one other time. In one pic you can kinda see how long the tail feathers are.

 

Well theres aleast one American that wants it to live ,

 

Pellet gun..... one or two pumps only.

 

tranq gun. that would be fun and humain. or call animal control tell them they are your birds and you can catch them. or like a local vet they might have some tips/advice.

 

Damn, thats the best idea yet . . .i'll try that. Thanks!

 

^ Just hope the "real" owners haven't put in a call in to animal control to be on the watch out for them

 

If they're cage trained, they'll usually go into the cage on their own because they feel safe there. Call animal control. They'll probably put a large cage in your back yard and see if they go in on their own. If not, they can probably catch them.

 

If the parrot's not pooping all over the place, maybe you could just leave it be, kind of like a free pet that you never have to take care of but get to enjoy how pretty it is.

 

so anyways any progress???

 

Parots are smart. They are smart enough to teach me they are smart. Damn birds keep staying just out of reach. And when they seem to be in reach they wait till i get too close for comfort then hop up to the next highest branch or out of reach again. Ive given up on catching them. Just a matter of time till I find blue and red feathers everywhere but no parots

 

So is it still there?

 

dude, its a parrot. Have you tried talking to it? Ask it its name, who its owner it, and where it lives. If I had a parrot, Id teach it those things for just an occasion. no, really
