The bird hunting refers to both the hunting of birds and hunting with birds. A distinction must therefore be made between pickling , where game birds are hunted as well as game birds, and catching birds . Since hunting birds also had to be caught before training, all birds of prey were previously caught in the wild . Bird hunting was also a popular pastime. It was exercised for various purposes, according to legend also by King Heinrich the Vogeler (* 876; † July 2, 936).

Pickling

With hawking is with trained birds of prey game birds and small ground game (especially rabbit and hare hunting). Hounds are used to scout for game birds when they are hunting .

Bird trapping

When it comes to catching birds, a distinction must be made between hunting poultry and hunting small birds. Small birds on fishing grounds with bait or decoys lured or forced with terror means in stretched networks. Other special bird traps are often set up in the interior . Short-term bird barriers are also set up or nets are laid over resting birds at night. Different trapping systems are used depending on the season and the type of bird. Bird trapping also took place in so-called bird herds .

Tirassieren

When tirassing, so-called chicken dogs indicated the stolen game and, on command, carefully drove them forward into the tiras, the hunters' train network. In England, the sport of bird hunting for poultry with pointing dogs , the setting dogs , was developed. These lay down when they were displayed, captivating the game with their eyes so that the hunters could throw the nets over the dog and prey. Falcons or kites were also used in tyrassing to prevent the flying game from rising.
