would this work on sparrows

Definitely not. this gun is not strong enough to humanely kill any animals. It is designed to plink and shoot cans. For a comparable pistol that may be used to hunt, check out the Crosman 1377. This is a fantastic gun, but it simply does not have the power to hunt with.

Yes I would say this pistol would be effective on sparrows at a distance of 10 yards or so, it shoots at 360fps. Gun is very accurate, I have a Browning red dot sight on mine, it will put 20 rounds in hole size of quarter at 7 yards.

It would but not much punch. I have shot larger birds (magpies) and it just pisses them off. A sparrow is small enough that it would work but nothing larger.

No it's way to weak. For that bu need a CO2 hang gun or pump.some thing bigger more power is better like crosmen optomos it will take out any little critter

Hello, concerning your question, grackles and starlings leave this feeder alone. They just wait for the sparrows to drop the seed. I have seen bluejays hang on to the bottom and get some seed and take off. Pigeons and dove are confused to. Squirrels can't get it either.Happy Feeding.

Yes. I purchased this because I have pet birds. I just used it. Many times I'll walk around and find roaches and the minute I spray this, the roaches are dead! This is excellent!

Yes, but it will need to be in rilfe mode and set to it's highest power level. I only know this since I took it on a hunting trip as fun gun but ended up using it, A LOT! I will say you may need to take a second shot with this rilfe because it did stun some of the birds. For small birds you really need a pellet, not a BB, and a rifle that can shoot up to 600fps, this rilfe can't.

I have been sprinkling it in the aspen shavings for my birds nest boxes. ( Cockatiels, conures, lovebirds and parrotlets) and it works great, just sprinkle it not too much. I would think it would work also for doves. Worth trying.

Yes, it will work on blueberry maggot, which is a closely related species. I have found that using a very thin coat of tangletrap eliminates the catching of most larger insects and small birds which can happen when there's too much sticky.

We have no sparrows but the Downy and Hairy woodpeckers love the feeder and it has drastically cut down on suet consumption by Clark's Nutcrackers, Jays, and Red-Wing Blackbirds. The Nuthatches use it a bit as does an occasional Chickadee.

I don't know, but I would doubt it. The only thing I know that works for geese is a swan decoy.

I have 7 bird houses in the yard. Four with 1-1/4 holes and they all have house sparrows in them currently. The Woodlink NAWRCH has an 1-1/8 hole as well as one of my own construction and none of them have house sparrows giving them any attention. My home bulit Northern Flicker box has a pair building a nest in ti currently. It has a 2-1/2 hole.

You know I honestly don't think so. I would say that overall, it's not a bad little gadget if you are picking up light crumbs, etc, but to say it would work on anything substantial, it's not worth it. It works great on light dog or cat fur, or bird seed, but it won't pick up any straw (we have a rabbit also)....and it fills up very fast so sometimes I have to dump it three times just to pick up after the birds. Almost easier to use the big machine!

Yes. It is a lot more work for them, but the sparrows can use this feeder. Mine usually just flap their wings like crazy to stay up under the feeder, but some really good ones can invert and attach. I think it depends on how much other food you are providing the sparrows. Because if there is easier food elsewhere, they will likely ignore this one.

sorry.. it didn't work for me either... I have 2 canaries and 3 gouldians... too bad it was a waste of money.

It does work with jays. Not sure about mourning doves though. If I'm not mistaken I believe that mourning doves prefer ground foraging.

I would think so..... A pigeon is fairly heavy for a bird and the mat is sesitive to a light touch of the hand. I'd say give it a try...... It has worked well for me on my cat.....

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Yes, it is great for Crowns of thorn plants.

The sparrows are the largest ones that can get in to it. Mostly chickadees and it will keep out the squirrels. They tried and finally gave up.

We have mostly sparrows that get in to the feeder at the moment, but not having had it that long, I'm not sure. We will get Cardinals later on, so will have to see if they can get in through the holes. The feeder is wonderful, and may have to get another one, as we have a smaller one, but the birds ignore it. It might be worth trying it, as other small birds would love it anyway.
