Gary Bauer, [31 Mar 2025 at 18:15:32]: I've been asked to assist in catching and relocating oxpeckers from one reserve to another. Any input on best capture methods (mist nets?), how long to keep in captivity at destination before release and diet whilst doing so, as well as any other thoughts would be appreciated. Erik Verrynne, [31 Mar 2025 at 18:20:02]: Hi Gary. They function in family groups, so it can be a bit tricky. EWT had a very successful red-billed oxpecker project in 2016 I think🤔. It was handled by the Poison Working Group. Maybe contact them and hear if some of the team members are still around? Rob Jackson, [31 Mar 2025 at 18:21:12]: Martin Schulman at OP Gary Bauer, [31 Mar 2025 at 19:05:55]: Thanks Eric...will do. Willem Burger, [1 Apr 2025 at 21:06:25]: Me and Louis and I did two sets of successful capture and release. You are welcome to call me.
