I am looking into a possible pigeon job and building a trap for them. From the pictures I have seen, its hard to tell what the doors look like. Are they flat to the wall or are they angled like a muskrat colony trap?

The ones I have are flat faced with short tunnel/cone entries that act as funnels.Most of the designs that I use have wire bobbin type doors that (hinge) swing inwards and swing back into position once the bird has cleared the opening.

Mine are slightly angled in and very light weight.....I also put a 3/4 inch + lip. This makes the door open sooner when pressure is applied.....

BUT if Bob says straight.....I will build one that way.....!! How about a picture sir Bob.....
