Functional for Catching Pigeons in Coop
I purchased this butterfly net to catch my pigeons that roost in my chicken coop/stall. I wanted something with a gentler net rather than my fishing net. This net is just right for catching perched pigeons and pigeon flying from a perch. The handle is too short to catch feral pigeons and pigeons outdoors. The net is gentle but not very deep, so it is a bit tricky to net and retain a pigeon to grab it. The pigeon escapes the net about half the time. If the net was just a little deeper, maybe about 6", then it would fold and gently trap the pigeon more effectively. Nevertheless, it works much more gently than my fishing net and there is no harm in having to try a few times to get a pigeon.
