USE OF HAND

  • Towels are best to catch and hold birds.
  • The towels protect the hand and also hide the hand.
  • While using towel the bird does not see a human hand approaching.
  • The towel also prevents the wing flapping.
  • The problems with the gloves are imitating the shape of the human hand and do not providing the wrapping material.
  • It is better to protect the grasping had when entering the bird’s domain.
  • Small and medium sized psittacines are readily captured with the use of small cloth and medium sized or large psittacines are better captured with a towel or protective glove
  • Small passerines such as finches and canaries are best captured with the bare hand, while a small towel is usually used to capture large passerines.
  • After capture the bird can be transferred to bare hand or to simple cloth restraint.
