A bird in the hand


I don't know what it is about boys that makes them hunters at heart. No matter how peaceful they seem, there is some urge to commit mayhem on poor, unsuspecting wildlife.

The boys latest endeavour is a "bird trap". I remember making traps when I was a kid, and the trouble with capturing squirrels and other critters is that they don't want to come down out of the trees.

Solution: put the trap IN the trees. Brilliant!

Here Donnelly and Brynley display the latest in bird-catching gear.

When I asked Donn what he would do if (should have said when) he catches one, he said promptly:

"Eat it! Yeah!"
