Where better than a prison to build a trap? What better things to build?

Why am i thinking that these traps are nothing more than a Massey stuffed in a small box that stabs birds with a shiv covered in poo?

Cool, can they build me some rabbit traps too?

One of the problems with any industry programs at the gaol is, they can not implement a program for any product that is manufactured in near by industrial area’s. Given that Canberra and Queanbeyan have industrial areas, while they do not make everything, most of the small easy things are taken care of.

An old subject, but are we able to purchase these traps?

http://www.indianmynaaction.org.au/trapping_help.htm says yes.

“To obtain an already-built PeeGee trap, phone 02 6231 7461 or email president@indianmynaaction.org.au . CIMAG provides the traps free to people participating in the program, although a donation to the organisation is welcome to help us meet the costs of construction and group costs.”

Will they get paid for their work too? A bird in the hand worth two in the bush…ha ha ha

And that should be ‘complied’.

Having built one of these things, can the authorities PLEASE make sure that all OH&S guidelines are comlied with.

The number of wire stabs you get whilst cutting and fabricating are ridiculous!

This is a fantastic idea and a great community service! Well done to the powers that be for giving guests of the Hume Hilton something that will occupy their time, perhaps even earn them some skills, while (indirectly) assisting Canberra’s native wildlife.

The CIMAG group have been of great assistance to me in the past when all creatures in my yard were being terrorised by mynas. I read recently in a Sydney paper that the NSW gov has enlisted their help in addressing their myna problems, after spending 5K to catch one bird (or something like that).
