Thread: BOYS CATCH UP

That one was actually built by Alan Cowden. It's a lot more complex than the ones I used in the states when I was releasing bobwhites but it works very well.

I'm going to do some simpler ones down south when I head back down.

Any feedback / comments on the feeders attached to the doors? I've read that similar ones can be wasteful if the birds are a bit over-enthusiastic and scratch the feed out and onto the floor or through the wire netting?

Yeah there's a bit of waste but no worse than any other feeders I've used. They're nice because they don't foul and don't have to be refilled very often.

Really the idea with the houses is that the birds go out and feed and the feeders are only there as a backup.

Do you recall what brand the feeders are and where they're available from?

Looks like a speaker attached to the house. Do you use a sound recording of a cock-bird to bring the birds back at night? Rather than an actual call-back bird?

Alan would be the one to talk to re: the details of getting the equipment here as he's the one that sourced it

Yeah the speaker functions as the call back bird
