could this be used indoors to catch a small bird

Yes, most definately. The net is sturdy enough, though the bird might make some tears in it with claws and beak, if he is trying to get away, but if it's to catch an actual pet bird that isn't wild, I think it might just be the tool you need. If I had to recommend any butterfly net to do the job it would be this one. Another advice, order the net in black, as it will soothe the bird and prevent it from panicking.

Yes, I have rescued warblers and wrens in my garage with this net. Caught bees and wasps on the porch also. Great net, very versatile.

It is possible, however I wouldn't recommend it. The bird could destroy the netting pretty quickly.

Absolutely, just as long as the bird is within the reach of the net. I recommend this net highly, particularly since it is so light in weight.

I would imagine so. It seems small but I had 5 mice caught in it one time and let them go in a nearby (not too nearby!) park. The only problem I had was getting them to come out! I used dog food in mine because I realized that I had mice when I found the bottom drawer of a kitchen junk drawer filled with dog food pellets.

Definitely not. Cockatiel or small conure would be okay. It's not very sturdy at all.

I would NOT recommend that because it's full spectrum. And it would be like having an artificial sun in your home. Plus I doubt that it being so far from the bird would be very effective. I'd say any less than a couple of feet away from the cage would be a waste. I just bought an ikea floor lamp:) Hope this helps.

I would say not. I had finches in it but the wire is thin and the perches too tiny for anything more than a cockatiel.

Hi Jeff. I think it would be kind of small for that. I just have it in a bird bath. Good luck!

I would say no. The bars are small and light like for finches and parakeets. The sliding food dish doors would be a problem with a parrot too I think.

yes it is small enough but I also found that to be a problem because it's very hard to get your hand inside to bait it. I returned mine because of that. It's also very difficult to set.

I think it will depend on where you have this hanging. I have seen no signs of squirrel activity on mine, even though I have a lot of squirrels in my yard, but a smaller rodent could more likely squeeze in between the metal wires...it would depend on if he is already below the baffle. If he is below, I would say he could get at the food...I am thinking field mouse size. They recommend that these bird feeders be hung four feet from any possible jumping perch, or to use a pole designed for this purpose.

I used this in an aviary ( bird) worked well to kill dust mites etc. I personally never used it in the house but I don't know why you couldn't unless you have little ones on the floor , then I'm really not sure sorry

I havent caught anything other than rats but thats because i used it indoors. If you put bait that attracts squirrels i would imagine it will catch them. I would suggest looking for a "humane rodent trap" that wont harm them if you are worried about that

I would assume so. I was dealing with field mice, which are smaller creatures, but it looks like there's space enough in the trap to catch larger prey.

I don't think it would be tall enough. It does have a lot of room. But not enough for a dog. I used mine to catch a ferrel 6mth old cat. Trying to catch a beagle. May take imagination. Such as a kennel with a stick with a string attached and propping up the door. Watch and wait. When the dog enters. Pull the string on the door. Or a bigger havahart trap.

I have had it pick up animals as small as dove, but I cannot say if it would pickup much smaller.

I personally didn't try it on smaller flies, but maybe with the right bait. I would not recommend using the enclosed bait for ANYTHING inside a house or confined area. The smell is horrendous. The design is such that it might work to just put a small piece of fruit inside for fruit flies. Of course, you run the risk of actually attracting more of such flies too. Good luck!

If I were training pigeons, I wouldn't recommend using this net as the squares are a bit small if you have a big bird cause the feathers might get snagged in the net or even the claws could get hooked up and hurt the bird. Each opening of square of the net measures about 4" x 4 " . Good luck with your training.

Smaller bird can fit inside. Large ones can only reach at certain angles.Squirre cannot get at it at all.
