  1. Cradle Birds

    Share Share Post
    This was used for snaring birds, hares and rabbits.
    First a frame was made with straight elder rods, get four weak twigs and double them in, then tie them with a cord alone; place a rod through the double twigs at one side, and then at the opposite sides and the crib is made.
