Let us know how yours turns out. Maybe we can tweak it a bit & get it perfect .
More ideas usually get good results.

Great pics, Cliff N 
Heres a bird snare:
I tried it once in the back yard when I was a kid, I didn't catch anything but it did work on sticks and my finger

You can also use a hanging rock as the force to close the loop, instead of a bent stick.
Fortunately, I've seen one of these used. That picture isn't very informative, turd. 
I'll see if I can find a better one.

Well, I found a more descriptive photo. Too bad it's in the wrong language.
Hey, doesn't Dobry speak Russian?
At least, I think that's what it is.

Looks like Russian to me too
When the bird lands on the stick the stick falls and the knot is then able to be pulled though the hole in the vertical stick and the snare catches the bird's foot

^Yes, it is very effective.
I'd like to see a bird in Cliff's trap. 
Mmm...roasted bird.

I got it to work , but either we have the smartest birds in town here or they just don't like the cinnamon raison english muffins that I used for bait  I don't like them either...that's why I used them for bird bait.
All I've caught in it so far are a bunch of ants....evidently they're stupid & like the bait. Who knew???? I just realized that I may have just set the worlds goofiest looking ant trap 
It's staying put , set up in the backyard near the woods until something with meat on it gets in there .
If it's anything bigger than a bird though it'll have no trouble flippin' that trap over & escaping my evil intentions.
I ain't quittin' till I catch somethin' for I am now on a mission.

Thanks for the pic!!!
That one looks too good not to try.
I used a heavy piece of wood instead of the spring pole:
Here's where the string goes through the hole:
I'm hoping I'll have some luck with this one but with all the rain we're having the last 2 days I haven't seen or heard a bird for awhile.
Thanks again....Cliff

Good job, Cliff.
Maybe you'll catch a hawk.
Good luck.

Okay, how 'bout a crow?
We have plenty of hawks and crows around here.
All right, all right...to be realistic I'll hope he gets a sparrow.

Not much for eating around Cincinnati, I guess?
Always pack plenty of food.
