Sparrow Box Trap

[rrmartins]

Hello all. Can somebody tell me if sparrows prefer a porch or not, thinking about taking it off the trap? Thanks a lot!!

All the house sparrows I've ever observed, just love to hang out on the porch and be disgusting. My personal opinion is it makes the trap more inviting.

Sounds good, I’ll leave it on there. Thank you.

A porch is not going to keep them from coming in. They are not picky and will try to take over any cavity/house they can fit into.

So the best option is to do what?

Use the porch sir, make it inviting like sugar for a fly.

I left the porch on, got 8 out of it last year, the Blaine’s Repeater caught so many I quit counting. Thanks again.
