Set up the trap so the split perch is holding open the door. The larsen trap should come with a perch for the crow that’s split in half. Prop the two parts of the perch up so that they’re aligned and holding open the trap door. This will make it easy for a crow to land on the perch and fall into the trap.

Bella, it appears, has committed suicide--a verdict Rachael finds impossible to accept. Many agreed that Vera is a very unlikable character, a real “witch,” with others pointing out that she had to really fight hard to find her place among a male dominated society–especially difficult in rural police force. If she had been a male character, perhaps her “rough edges” would have been more kindly taken, such as just being “grouchy” or “crusty” rather than witchy. But the members who didn’t like Vera, really didn’t like her! “A witch”“A mooch”“amusing but too hard to like to get into story” Cleeves thoroughly explores the passions and motivations of each, while exposing the human greed and sorrow beneath the bucolic landscape. The Columbo-esque Vera, who hides a fierce intelligence and razor sharp instincts under garish clothing, uses every tool at her disposal to solve the crime."Make sure the bird always has access to fresh food and water, whether it’s the decoy bird in the trap or a captured crow. discounts on 4+...........mouse traps,.........multi catch mouse traps, .........humane mouse traps..............Red Squirrel Feeder.....Grey squirrel trap............Trap Man makes squirrel traps ................. decoy bird and is side entry, crows and rooks like to hop along the ground and are easier to catch in a side entry crow trap.
