I have an S&S Repeating Nest-box Controller that I got from PMCA. It has trapped many a Starling. I have it mounted about 12 feet up.
I will be glad to give it and the mounting poles to someone that will use it.

I would love it but getting it shipped to Indiana might prove to be tricky.

We would love it if no one has spoken for it yet! We live in Lockhart in the country, and had success our first year. We could sure use the S&S controller on our sparrows. I think there is a way to send a message, and, since I'm new, will be sending it ASAP. If not, I'll contact you again on the web.

Jodie, click on the PM switch at the bottom of the original message, the PM means "private message". It will be sent via the PMCA and then the original person can read the message.
The controller works best on starlings. Sometimes its hard to balance it correctly for sparrows, but its possible to get the right balance if its a good controller. Sparrows do not weigh much so its harder to balance for them. Starlings are rather easy to get a good balance because the starlings weigh more
