Aquila offers different types of solutions:

We offer wide variety of ground traps, from bownets to square-shaped.
Bownet traps are the largest traps offered by Aquila. They can reach 5 meters in diameter. As standard we offer 2,5 or 3,5 meter models. They are designed mainly to trap large birds of prey. Modular construction facilitates transfer as the whole trap can easily be carried in a handy bag.
Square traps are smaller units (maximum 150 cm in length). They can be set up horizontally on the ground or be raised from one side in order to extend the overall height. The trap is designed to trap smaller raptors as well as other bird species.
2. Pole traps.
Aquila's pole traps can be fitted to any kind of mast, suitable tree top or most often artificially erected poles used by birds for resting or hunting. Two types of pole traps have been developed:
spring traps - the perching bird is trapped between two net wings
loop traps - a string or fishing line is tightened up around bird's legs

But our offer extends far beyond that, as we provide various additional options and functions, among which are:
