Carol,
The trap I bought isn’t a ‘Nestbox’ trap, I didn’t buy that type because I was scared it would catch the bluebirds. It is a cage style trap that hold multiple birds and is pole mounted or it said you could put it on the ground or on a picnic table. You are supposed to bait it and it said a decoy would help. The trap had great reviews, I just have never had to deal with sparrows before so I don’t know much about trapping them. Thank you for all of your responses, I really appreciate you taking the time to give me much needed advice.
