On Father's Day our Dad taught us about an old track he used to do with his friends back in the day bird catching! To catch a bird you need a box a big box but not too big then you need some string and a stick including bread. Best of all you put the bread on the ground and then you put the stick so the box is leaning on it face down then you tie a bit of string on the bottom of the stack and hide somewhere put some bread under the box so when a bird comes under the box you pull the string in the box falls down on the bird. When you're trying to catch a bird you have to make sure that you find a not windy spot otherwise the box will be bowing over and scaring the birds away.
When we were bird catching the thing that was really hard was patience because you have to wait a long time before the birds come and try to eat the bread. Also it was really hard to pull the string when a bird was under the box because if you pulled it too hard if you're not that fast the Bird would Fly Away
during this fun activity I really enjoyed spending time with my brother and trying to catch birds because it's really fun even if you don't catch them because you're trying and there's still the excitement that the bird went under their. Once my dad put lots and lots of bread around the box that almost 100 birds came to eat it up.
Next time when I do bird catching I am going to let my brother have a turn pulling the string because I pulled the string the whole time and he was the box Runner to pick it up.
