will it trap birds or hurt them like other nettings?

I do not know. I use the netting to keep snakes out of the bird houses. It does do this.

I did get a couple of birds that found their way under the net and they did not get hurt. I just lifted the netting up off the ground and they flew off.

I used it on my tomatoes and birds did not get trapped in it, it's rather soft, thought it worked well

Mine didn't but I couldn't be sure it won't again next year. From what I read white is best with smaller holes. Also, I believe putting water close by can help, sometimes the birds are just thirsty?

Although it is not designed to trap birds I GUESS that a bird could get tangled in it... BUY it like most others are designed to keep birds off of your trees and vegetable. I Have used these in my garden and fruit trees and have NEVER had a bird trapped.

I have never seen any birds caught in the nets. The birds here in Montana are like the rest of the state, carnivores. The birds all go for the bugs and worms which they can only get in the grass, the protected plants are all planted with a covering of river rock. Bees seem to have no difficulties with it.

I wouldn't recommend it. The tail end of the net is very narrow which could make it difficult to safely remove the bird.

I don't know if it works on birds...it did NOT work for mice or ants. I would try a more proven method.

Yes, his claws will tear the netting, it's not that strong it's mostly a deterrent.

No it will not affect birds , the sound emitted targets only squirrels , rodent , ect.

Don't know. Haven't tried that trap. But these do not work as well as the traditional wooden snap traps. These tend to not kill instantly. While they trap the animal they don't always kill leaving the animal to die slowly.

I'm thinking it could probably work for that. It's not a super strong net and can rip if pulled on too hard. But, I'm guessing a baseball would be rounded enough and have enough surface area to distribute the impact, that the net would probably be able to withstand it without puncturing. But this is only a guess on my part. For it's intended purpose of keeping birds out of my strawberries, blueberries, and grapes it works really well and it durable. :-)

It is heavy woven thread netting. It is not a thin polymer bird net. The squares are big - 2"x2". A child or small adult could push a hand through one of these holes. It is ideal as a safe roofing material for a large bird aviary. However, you would want to insure that roosts are not placed directly beneath the netting. A hawk or owl could strike a roosting bird through the netting - probably wouldn't be able to get the bird after that strike, but it would already be dead.

I doubt the birds will attack themselves on your screened windows. The decals did not deter the birds on my uncovered windows though at all. I did not find the product effective at all.

I'm not sure about that. It turned out to be too large and heavy (when filled) to go on the hook on my fence. I wanted to put a net underneath it to catch the debris, but couldn't find a hook long enough to allow the feeder and net to hang out from the fence, so I ended up giving it away. I would only recommend it for haning from a tree branch or something. It's very heavy.

This trap does work for tree squirrels, but I had to make some adjustments. A tree squirrel is a lot bigger than the ground squirrels, and has a lovger reach. They can get their little paws in to the bait through the cage and steal it. I cut a top off a plastic bakery container from the super market, and cut it in half. I secured it, facing the shield, with twist ties. Then I put in the bait. The squirrels couldn't steal the bait. The squirrels can not dig their way out as the cage is all wire, all the way around. Any animal can dig under to get to the bait. But I put the trap on a concrete area, and was able to secure it with garden stakes at the edge of the trap. It couldn't move and it couldn't be dug under. It works.

yes, I used it to catch mulberries from my trees so they would not hit the ground. No mulberries fell through the net.

That is a really good question and so far, I can answer no. But never say never. What i have had a problem with (once) was the netting that I use for my cherry trees. I was using the open flimsier (cheap) stuff and one day I found a robin stuck in that. So I traded up for a heavier smaller mesh. No problems since. But you bring up a good point.

No definitely not, it won't even shock the squirrels that are just hanging on by the bird perches. Hope this helps.

This is basically effective--but... Some fruit will be next to the netting and may get eaten anyway, 2) it is really hard to remove from the tree later on, and 3) I removed mine after I found it had trapped and killed a hummingbird--and I like hummingbirds in my garden! There are these big yellow beach ball with huge black eyers that come with reflective mylar 'pupils' you attach. The birds do not like them, nor do they like tinsel or small mirrors hanging from your tree. Good luck!

I am sure this coating is toxic and birds will drink from a bath. I feel this could make them sick or possibly worse. I used it on brick and it did not work for me.
