BE PROUD OF ME it only took me a year. Classic me. Immediate identifier that I am not a scam bot

As for transporting, we always tucked the birds into their own little cloth drawstring bags to carry from the nets back to the banding/ringing station!

In my experience with banding/ringing, I’ve only used the nets hung between the trees. The suet-noose method is very similar to how falconers trap birds of prey, so I would assume that it works but I’d be worried about the nooses hurting the legs of songbirds, as they’re much daintier than hawks.

hello I have finally made a Bluesky after having the app downloaded for a year 👍

My friends sent me your post so I would finally make my account here - I spent a few years assisting at a bird banding station and handled hundreds of songbirds. Happy to answer any questions you may have !
