So, I made a few bluebird/tree swallow nest boxes. I'm out doing the usual rural landowner things and see that one box has a nice bluebird couple, the other, a lovely pair of tree swallows. Today? FSA sparrows are trying to kill eggs and move in.
Besides a lawn chair/20 gauge, what are my sparrow control options? |

House sparrows will kill bluebirds and take over nesting boxes. House sparrows are considered invasive species. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-jdEIN2OqQ |

| I used a sparrow trap last year after they started randomly picking apart my tomato plants. It worked great, I ended up catching around 80 sparrows in about a month. |
