   My father goes trapping birds with birdlime. He gets sprigs and puts the birdlime on sprigs and them then he gets sets of small bushes and blacktops and he puts the sprigs of birdlime on the sets. Then he puts a bird and cage on the ditch. This bird calls the other bird on and they land on sets and if they are "peppered" they will not land on the birdlime any more.
