Hi all,
At risk of stirring up a hornet's nest (this thread was exhausted
thoroughly last spring, if I remember correctly!), I am soliciting
information about starling traps.

A colleague of mine in the (new consolidated) biology department at
UW Seattle is researching olfaction and mating systems in starlings
and needs to live-trap starlings at her study-site for her study.

I know that previously many people mentioned starling traps they have
or use during the nesting season involving openings and tubes that
exploit starlings' curiosity concerning nest-hole possibilities to
catch them.

I'd love information on specs for such traps or if you've got some
that you aren't using that could be borrowed for the next few months.

Thanks a lot!
Dan
