So was this. A 12 volt battery, and some old school analog technology (yikes, moving parts!?!) and you have a dead bird. Might even incorporate a relay and some old garage door opener components I have lying around, and have the thing become wireless.

It wouldn't feature DNA sampling, however. After sugar season, maybe I'll throw it together and post a vid.


That would be cool spark. Let's see it in action.

I have no beef with birds. It's those darn pesky red squirrels and chipmunks that are causing damage.

My dad shoots them when he can, but think zapping them would be far more effective.
