    to take out the bird you pout down the gabhóg, get it down on the birds neck an stick it to ground. Lift up the crib put in your hand and take out the bird. If it was a blackbird or a trush you would eat them. If it was any other of a bird you would let her off out in more bread the bread should be white bread so that the bird would see it. Set it again till another bird came along.
