I know how to construct this really neat deadfall trigger that's intended especially for catching birds. Birds will have a tendency to perch on the protruding stick and WHAM ! the trigger releases and gravity takes it all down on top of the bird.

I've got zero experience in the art of trapping birds, but I'm keeping one of these deadfall triggers tucked away in my backpack, where I'm keeping it just in case I ever need to trap birds for emergency food.

Does anyone have any experience at trapping birds ?
