You may try a piece of pvc pipe or flexible dryer hose attached to entry of trap. I would think a bird would not enter it but a squirrel would. Maybe just cover trap up piece of burlap so they can not see out when they are inside it.How can i stop birds from going in my squirrel trap and taking my bait?
Try changing the bait to something that squirrels like but birds don't. Perhaps walnuts or pecans that are still in the shell. Good luck.
After a diatribe like that you will be lucky if you get anything but smart aleck answers, my friend.
