Bird trapping techniques to capture wild birds include a wide range of techniques that have their origins in the hunting of birds for food. While hunting for food does not require birds to be caught alive, some trapping techniques capture birds without harming them and are of use in ornithology research.
Nets deployed in this manner often use a playback of a species' song or call, or a model of that species placed near the net to lure the targeted individuals into the net (e.g. [3]). Because broadcast netting captures birds indiscriminately, this technique is better suited to examining the species that occur within a specific habitat.

Fowling is the hunting of birds by humans, for food (), feathers or any other commercially value products, or simply for leisure ("sporting") or collecting trophies.It is comparable to wildfowling, the practice of hunting waterfowls for food or sport.
Upland hunters use all types of shotguns from break-action single-shots to semi-automatics, calibered from .410 bore through to 12-gauge.The quintessential shotgun for upland hunting is a double-barrel shotgun in a smaller gauge such as a 16-, 20-or 28-gauge, using small round pellets known as birdshots, which are also commonly used in duck hunting.
Quail live throughout the United States. Quail hunting in the 20th century was the most popular game hunting sport. [2] Due to their popularity as game birds and their extensive distribution, quail have been studied throughout the North American continent, particularly in the 20th century.
