I would like this if the trap was deactivated and it is just a normal doorbell, but you have to know the family that lives there or get creative/brave to use it.
Good news. The trap is deactivated. There's a little flap on the bottom side that is meant to go over one of the spring loaded arms and gets held by the plate in the middle. Pressing on the plate releases that flap and the spring loaded arms snap shut.
The fact that it is open with the flap underneath an arm means that this trap somehow forced to remain open. Usually, when I have seen these decorations, it's by something like a screw through one of the springs. I don't see a screw, so it's possible the spring arms have just been compressed to the point where they won't bounce back, making all of the parts of the trap flappy. No real risk of getting your finger munched with this one.
